Quinces, however many you have, cored and cut up

This is like apple sauce but with a special tang. In water to cover, simmer until soft, or cook over night in a crock pot. Put through strainer. Most people think only of quince jelly, but if you can find quinces, you will like this with meat or as a dessert.

A boy becomes a man when he walks around a puddle instead of through it.
