can quince be eaten as it is raw, is it only used in jams?

I reckon you would break your jaw bone & teeth eating quince raw...but hey, you can always give it a go!

The Owl and the Pussycat apparently dined on slices of quince which they ate with a runcible spoon.
My quince are too hard to eat raw but you can have them as stewed fruit.
Somewhere I heard a suggestion that in hot climates quince become soft.

I bake mine.....Peel and halve each quince, scoop out the core.Put in a buttered oven dish cut side up, pour over a couple of glasses of water, and about 1/2c brown sugar.Sprinkle some cinnamon if you like it, put knobs of butter into each quince core.Bake about 3/4hr. Serve hot or cold

Thanks for that, I saw them at a local honesty box where I get my apples. Had no idea what they were used for other than jam. May get some next time, and have a go at baking them.

I love that rhyme, had it on kids wall in bedroom, often recited it to them at bedtime.
