[4Quince]

Interesting.I wonder how Quince sounds as a tone wood. It looks to have a pretty tight grain.

How does Quince taste when it's made into an alcoholic beverage?

Quince is very astringent; it tastes citrusy, but gentler and without the sharpness of a lime or lemon; it also has floral undertones of rose and pineapple. I amped the citrus up with the fresh lemon peel; the the cardamom added some warmth, and the "fennel pollen has notes of licorice, citrus, and homemade marshmallows." I'm quite happy with how it came out! I have two other batches, with different spices, that I have yet to process.

Have you plans on how you'll be deploying this decadent sounding infusion?

Later this week, I am sharing it with a friend around a fire pit. Belatedly we will release 2023, and welcome our individual intentions for 2024.

I had to look up membrillo.

Me too. Turns out it’s what we’ve always called quince cheese. Definitely going to stick with membrillo from now on, it sounds so much nicer!

Welcome! I'm in Eugene. There's a pretty solid PNW contingent around here (and niche fruit aficionados, apparently) so you'll fit right in!
