Back during the Crusades when I was just barely a teenager there was a jar of
quince seed jam on the kitchen table. Being a goofy teenager I thought it
sounded just disgusting; don't ask me why, you know teenagers can be real
ding-a-lings at times. Anyway, with some trepidation I smeared a bit on
either a biscuit or toast and had no high expectations. Oh my! Much to my
amazement it was simply delicious!!

Can't even find the stuff on grocery shelves now. GRRRRRRRRR I think the
only place I could snag a jar now is at the once-a-month flea market at the
Mennonite stand. The Amish stand would probably have it for sale, too.
