Thank you, Kate! I felt like I was in the kitchen with you. Cooking and baking with a friend is just the best way to spend time. A long walk in which we talk about food is another! ❤️

This sounds about right! Have a great trip/visit and let’s plan a “talk-about” when you get back.

I was so pleased to see the candied quince recipe! I work as a part-time archivist at an historic home where hundred-year-old quince trees are still on the property. It is remembered that a family member used to make candied quince, but no one knew where the recipe had gone to. My guess is that it was all done by memory, with nothing written down. I am looking forward to using your posted recipe to bring back a little bit of the past!
