Oh my gosh, what wonderful creativity to use all those quinces! I wonder if a distiller would be willing to trade doing the distilling for quince wine...or other quince treats. Sounds like we need to go out and make friends with distillers! :)
I grew up with a quince bush/tree right outside our front door. I know we never used the fruit (sadly) but I loved the beautiful red blooms every spring. And your post makes me wish I had thought to make vinegar, or pate de fruits, when I had the chance. Thank you!
I honestly had never heard of a quince! Thank you for this introduction.
one line that really struck me: does a gift ever really belong to the receiver? Yes, there does always seem to be an obligation to enjoy the gift...

The flowers *are* lovely! A house down the block has an ornamental flowering quince, and it's one of my favorite spring sights.
