It was good ... everyone had two slices and now my quince tarte is gone. That was the quickest any desert I have ever made has been eaten, a half hour after it finished baking, gone!

Quince is definitely not a fruit to be eaten raw, doesn't taste bad (the final consensus was like, a pineapple and a regular apple mixed), but it is so much better cooked. It was a simple tarte recipe too, 10 tablespoons of butter, a 3/4 cup of sugar, cup of flour, lemon juice, dash of salt, some water, 5 quince.

Too bad quince is 2 dollars a fruit at the Jewish market, (granted, it's still much lower cost than baking a cheesecake.)

I would say that was my tied for 2nd best desert with the fruit crumbles I've made, not as good as the cheesecakes. Then again, it's probably a thousand times healthier than the cheesecake I make. My cheesecake is usually so heavy it takes a group of four about a week to get through one, however good it is. Small slice a day.


So anyway ... survey time, I suppose.
