Have never seen or tasted quinces before so when for the very first time our local store received some just had to give them and this yummy sounding tart a try and am glad I did. I made as a free form tart using only quinces with the only snag being that the quince did not produce enough moisture to turn it to a glaze so my tart had some white spots from the icing sugar, easy enough to fix next time. The spicy brown sugar filling was a nice compliment to the quince. Thanks for the post.2Reply
