Latest book: Quinces, Growing and Cooking, with Sue Dunster

Jane McMorland Hunter - For the Love of an Orchard Quinces have become an undeservedly forgotten fruit and are almost impossible to buy, even in season. Quinces tells their fascinating history and shows how to make the most of both the trees and the fruits. The trees are small, attractively shaped and have the most exquisite blossom. The fruits are delicious and versatile, and the recipes here extend well beyond jelliesand jams, including sweets, savouries and even drinks.

‘Hunter and Dunster’s book salves the quinces reputation and, with any luck, will restore it toits former prominence in our gardens, orchards and kitchens.’ Brian Morton in the TLS
