Originally from Maggie’s mother-in-law, Flo Beer, this pickled quince is a celebration of tradition and flavour. Each jar captures the essence of ripe quince, gently spiced and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. Whether paired with sharp cheese, served alongside roast meats, or enjoyed straight from the jar, it’s a gourmet treat that brings warmth and nostalgia to every bite.
