Glyko kydoni

Kydoni (quince) is known from ancient years and its cultivation is said to have preceded that of the apple culture. Many references to «apples», in the ancient years may have been to a quince. 

Glyko Kydoni (quince preserve) is one of my favourite autumn fruit preserve.  Depending on the variety, once cooked it transforms into a nice pinkish to red colour and all its beautiful aroma is released.
