Out-of-focus photo of a bowl heaped with quinces standing on a wooden work surface. The fruit are irregular and fuzzy (it's not just the lens). They were picked today from fruit trees in a public park and are destined to become historic sweets.
Today's recipe from 1547 is for spiced quinces preserved in sugar or honey. #earlymodern cooking doesn't get much more decadent. I picked quinces from #publictrees to try it out.
