Welcome to one of the hardest letters of the alphabet -
Q as in
queen,
quarter,
quarantine. This week, I'm showing you some photos of
quince, a fruit that I'd never heard of before. I discovered it
quite by accident last month (September) when I took a drive out to Westham Island Herb Farm - a regular destination of mine.
I was able to get a parking spot right alongside the corn patch that left me only a short walk to the entrance. However, just as I got out of the car, a photo op presented itself. This (what I thought was an apple tree with one of the farm buildings behind.
I took another look and thought, "Oh it must be some type of pear." But later, as I was leaving, I noticed a little tag on the tree so I took a look and discovered it was a "
bourgeot quince." Once home, I looked it up online and discovered it's something like a cross between a sweet apple and a pear. Now I have never tasted a
quince, but it sure sounds delicious and from now on, I'll keep an eye out for them in the stores.
Apparently, most varieties of
quince grow in hotter climates, but the "bourgeot" is acclimatized to British Columbia's sometimes cold winters. If you are interested in reading more about the
quince here is a great
website from the BC Living Magazine.
Have
quintessentially great week, everyone! Many thanks to Melody and her team of assistants for keeping ABC Wednesday alive.

You should have a bit or two ;-) They are delicious, to me at least, and I don't like apples by the way

The owl and the pussy cat liked them because they dined on mince, and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon.
I've never seen one that size before although the flowering quince bush which is a different type is grown a lot in gardens here, pretty when it flowers and tough as old boots.
Every 6 months, I see quince on ABC Wednesday, and each time, I say I should try that!

I've heard of it but have never sampled it at all - but it does sound good.
