Interesting, I haven´t heard either of those words. Similar to an apple? - rogspax, Sep 5, 2013

Helo rogspax. Quinces are not apples; it's a fruit; has yellow color, specific taste. But the shape of quince is similar to apple or sometimes to pear. It's good for making jam and compotes. - 00b5f6c6, Sep 5, 2013

I had them in my yard in S.Africa. Covered with brown fuzz while growing, and harder than an unripe pear, and similar in taste and texture to a pear only much harder. I think they almost must be cooked to be eaten or used. - katydew, Sep 5, 2013

Yes, that's right katydew :) It's better to cook them first, then eat. But, acording to me- they're delicious. - 00b5f6c6, Sep 5, 2013
