Quince are relatives of apples and pears. They all belong to the pome fruit family.
They are a good source of Vitamin A, fiber, and iron. Due to their astringency from
their high tannin content, quince are not eaten fresh. They contain a high level of
pectin just as other fruits in the pome family. Due to their high pectin content, they
are popular for use in jams, jellies, and preserves. Since quince hold their shape, they
are ideal for poaching, stewing, or baking as a dessert.
