Incorporate "the fruit of the gods" into your diet with these sumptuous recipes
At Yellow Point on Vancouver Island, John and Gillian Edwards grow an impressive organic orchard of quince on their 100-acre Quinceotica Farms – and they will be harvesting like mad this month.
Organic quince fruit from John and Gillian’s farm is sold in Victoria by susan@shareorganics.bc.ca, as well as at Farmship Growers Coop in Nanaimo area farm markets and in a number of Vancouver Island grocery stores.
Frequently rhapsodized as “the fruit of the gods” throughout ancient times, quince adds sumptuous flavour to any recipe calling for cooked apple or pear. Stock up on quince while you have the chance, and plan to add some to your some special feasts this fall.
Transforming the golden quinces to a gorgeous ruby-red, this stunning yet simple compote is the creation of Gillian Edwards of Quinceotica Farms. She suggests serving the compote warm with frozen ice cream for dessert, or chilled with yoghurt or cereal for breakfast.

This incredible dressing comes from quince orchardist John Edwards, who says, “this recipe is written by my son (also a John), who is a Red Seal Chef, and in whom his parents are in awe, for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas turkey stuffing.”
