Your quince has come

Qis for quince, a relative of the apple and pear. This tart fruit is inedible when raw but is divine when cooked into a paste and eaten with cheese – and it’s in season now! Visit foodtolove.co.nz and search “small batch quince paste” to find food editor Nici Wickes’ delicious recipe.

It’s perfect for pre-dinner drinks at home or as a special snack.
