Additional Tips
This syrup can be frozen for long term storage. The recipe is based on using "proper" quinces, i.e. Cydonia oblonga, the big yellow pear shaped things, but you can use dwarf/bush quinces (Chaenomoles), you'll just need more of them. You can use the syrup for all sorts of things neat, but dilute 1:3 if used as drink (hot or cold)
