Erin, no but you can. I think they make a marmalade or something with them. They are fuzzy like a peach and have a citrus smell. Picking of plants is not allowed at Blandy. :)

Wow J. R., the fruit looks so different than what we had in our old house up here. Ours stayed much more green. Very nice photo.

Lil~ there WERE a couple green ones, but they were very small, maybe nickel size, at most. :)

Outstanding J. R. What a great use of your photo. I've never made quince preserves and would try your recipe first. Only 3 cups of sugar!
