I have more quinces perfuming up the house! I will make more cotignac!
But not tonight. Tonight there is a Giants postseason game.

So what distinguishes cotignac from membrilla?

Cotignac is from a 1350s Paris manuscript - I have posted the recipe and it should go up soon. No vanilla in this recipe, obviously, since vanilla is New World.

Where are you getting your quince? I have an inkling to make tarte tatin with quince.

From an SCA friend with a quince tree in San Jose (David Friedman).

Ah ok. I've been going to the farmers' market and looking for them but I haven't had much luck.

I got the last batch at the SF Ferry Building market from an apple seller, but they only had them for two or three weeks.
