My Grandma made quince jelly. They are a very tasty fruit, but, as you write, tart! Lots of sugar needed for the jelly.We get a lot of fruit but I haven't tried using any (yet).cheers,Frank D.

 Thanks, Frank.  We had one of those, years ago, and a lady up the street 
made preserves from the fruit.  As I recall, the taste was pretty tart!

This one could possibly be a Quince.

Despite the wind, I decided to give it another try.  These are uncropped frames that were processed in Lightroom and sharpened slightly with Focus Magic.  Hand held, in gusting wind.  They are much closer to the colors that I see with my eyes.
