Apple of Gold

Also known as the fruit of love, I am awaiting the ripening of this glorious fruit - the quince.  To date there are 26 on my tree gradually bending the boughs under their weight.  When ripe this golden fruit gives off a very delicate aroma and when cooked turns a translucent deep pink.  I have a recipe for a quince & rosewater tart tatin that will be tried out on the first fall of my quinces next month.
