 To be clear Cydonia oblonga,
is not Chaenomeles.
It is important to note that it is the sole member of the genus Cydonia. What this means is that there is a specific edible Quince that should not be confused with other types of quince, including the ornamental plant.
It is written and believed by some that this is the fruit of Adam. And not the apple as modern stories tell us.
With the birthplace in the cradle of civilization, the Fertile Crescent (believed to be), the bumpy, misshapen pear shaped Quince has a long written history.
It is said that Eve picked it (yes, that Eve), that it would spring up wherever Aphrodite appeared, Roman plant man, Palladius, wrote about ideas for cooking it, and French Astrologer Nostradamus left recipes for Quince Compote. Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet, “They call for dates and quinces in the pastry."
Treasured to have mystical and magical powers to heal and create life, this sweet tart fruit, in ancient Babylon, was prized for its medicinal properties. Quince is effective for squelching morning sickness and can help with colitis, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal issues and for external exit issues, like hemorrhoids!
It is a tree worth growing on your own and you only need one as they are self pollinating.

 Like nothing you have
ever had before!
The Amazing Acetoria Quince Balsamic Vinegar
About Quince Vinegar:
The first whiff: A fruity round sweet smell that tickles the nose. The smell of quince makes for the fruity flavor and the tingle in your nose is from the acid.
If you don't know the Quince fruit or the Quincy flavor, this vinegar has it.
Dip your tongue into a spoonful of quince vinegar and your tongue is enveloped by this rich liquid. It feels thick & as you lift your tongue to the roof of your mouth, the flavor of the quince will come through.
Repeated sucking of your tongue allows the flavor to roll-around as your senses enjoy the flavor. Be careful not to squeeze too hard as the acid in the vinegar may roll to the back of your throat and inflict a tiny bit of pain.
This vinegar compels you to chew, in a sense, in order to capture, feel and taste all the different nuances of the flavorings the quince has.
It turns and shapes and moves within your mouth. It feels alive! As the flavor of the quince dissipates off the tip of your tongue, the flavor moves to the edges and up to the roof of your mouth. As you suck in your cheeks you will squeeze the flavor and fully enjoy this vinegar.
If you take more than a tongueful, there's a stronger hit of the acidic side of the vinegar. You will get moments of pointy pokes and sharp, crisp twinges. But, in the end, this Quince vinegar is sweet, sour, smooth and round!
Once you taste this Quince Vinegar you will be drawn to it, like a fly to honey, and want to taste it over and over again. Trying to discern all the flavors and nuances, just like you would do with a complex balsamic vinegar. This Quince Vinegar is quite a treat! One of the best joys we have had in a really long time!

Ketjap Manis
Sweet, thick Soy Sauce, Perfect for Summer Marinades
You might not be familar with Ketjap Manis, but we can tell you it is a special treat.
We have tasted so many brands and we like this one the best! It comes via Holland (remember the Dutch ruled/occupied Indonesia and why you can taste the influence of Indonesia in Holland) and has the right balance to be versatile and be used in so many ways!
This Indonesian Soy Sauce is thick, sweet, full of soy sauciness. It is my go-to-ingredient to any marinade I make.
Like my favorite marinade for flank steak, I use Ketjap Manis as the base and add ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar and soy sauce to make a great combination.
When you have a wonderfully simple, complex, thick sauce like this, use it as your starting point, or as an addition, it makes any marinade shine! Literally, add to your hearts content combined with other ingredients and compliments will abound.
It's not just for protein. Think squeezed over grilled vegetables, or as a side dipping sauce. Once you have it you will keep a bottle on your table like ketchup!

Colomba Easter Italian Cakes
Easter is just a week away. Whether you plan or not, a rich buttery bread willed with candied fruit is a wonderful thing to behold and to have. French toast'ed, there is nothing like it.
Bada Bing Cherries
Sonny said it first and though most likely he wasn’t referring to this awesome Bing Cherry, but if he did … the world might just be a little sweeter. First up, the Bada Bing, it is one good tasting, deep, rich, red, cherry! Quite frankly it was a total surprise on how positively delicious it is.
