Quince could possibly be the forbidden fruit...the apple Eve gave Adam! Apparently quince has long been associated with romance. Haha...here is an interesting article about the history of quince.
The trouble with quince is that it's a fruit that you have to cook before eating. They look similar to apples or pears and are yellow in color. It's fun to have it once a year, but I couldn't deal with it more than that. They have a perfume scent to them that make you want to eat them. I poach them with a little cinnamon and sugar, and serve them warm with some whipped cream. Logan had them today for a little Halloween lunch treat! He ate them all up too! They have a texture similar to a canned/poached pear. You could also put them in pies or applesauce to give a different flavor. Here is a recipe for poached quince from Native Offerings:
