Is it possible to dry quince
Nowadays, quince can be found almost everywhere. And if it does not grow in your garden, then you can buy it in the market or in the supermarket. Quince has been known to people for more than 4 thousand years.
Fragrant, bright, similar at once to both an apple and a pear, quince always attracts attention. And although not everyone can bite off a quince, since it is hard, tart and sour when raw, it is harvested with great desire for the winter. The best way to harvest quince for the winter is drying.
Dried quince feels good in any compote. A slice of dried quince added to freshly brewed tea can replace a slice of lemon and significantly changes the taste of the tea itself, making it more fragrant, special, with fruity notes.
Store dried quince in a dry, tightly closed container in a cool, dark place or in food bags in the refrigerator.
