Demonstration record

Quince from the eastern Mediterranean

Recorded by KinDish archive · Isfahan · Source language: English

The original remains the source.

Quince appears in this archive the way a relative appears at different tables: in a copper pot in a story from Isfahan, in a jam Farida mentioned and never wrote down, in the Armenian new-year stuffing when the pumpkin was small and the quinces were many.

Nobody in these records claims quince. They stew it until it goes from wool to jewel. They add pomegranate, or saffron, or nothing but sugar and patience.

This is not a complete recipe. It is a map of mentions. The fruit is older than any of the kitchens that cooked it here.
