Quince fruit is the full market piece with peel and interior as harvested—graded and sold by piece or weight. Judge ripeness by aroma, colour and give. Hold whole until prep, then peel or slice as the dish requires. Save clean trimmings for stock, crumbs or compound butters when they suit the ingredient.
