It's late spring here in New Zealand and our orchard is full of developing fruit. The quince tree is prolific and this season will be no exception.

I hate to confess but in previous years most of the quince crop has rotted on the ground. That quince crumble sounds delicious and a great way to use some of the vast ouput of the t.ree

jillp: sweetness among quince varies a lot and we tend to add less sugar than most people by taste. If you find that the 1/4 cup of sugar is not enough in the poaching liquid, you can definitely double it up.

I love this recipe, but have a question. When I ma...

I love this recipe, but have a question. When I made the quince, it was not sweet at all. I only made one, so cut out some sugar, but is the fruit supposed to be sweet pre-crumble?

Thanks for all of your wonderful posts and inspiring photos :)

What a warm set of images!

Absolutely my favourite. It's amazing that without having to traipse down to the bookstore for a magazine, I can wake up in the morning to read something so beautiful like this.

Thank you!

Hi, Helen. I've been watching your blog for some time and feeling just totally in awe of your photography. So this weekend, I met Caitlin of Engineer Baker and she told me you're doing her wedding, and I thought that was the nicest thing I'd ever heard. Literally almost cried. You are lovely.

My mother uses quince to make what we call here in Poland "nalewka" (kind of alcoholic tincture) but i think i will steal some fruit and make your crumbles. Thank you for great recipes and beautiful pictures :)

I love hearing how you use all the different bits of the quince. Too often we waste without thinking!! These look delicious!

Hi! Love this blog because I love two things: baking and photography. I was wondering what kind of camera/film you use to photograph these lovely scenes. Some of your photos look analog, some digital, so I can't tell. Maybe it's just post-processing, or maybe you just have a really nice camera. Either way your photography is beautiful, and your desserts? Divine.

I am a big quince lover as well. I can't wait for Fall to come so that I can make apple sauce with quince. I'll try your crumble and I am sure we'll all love it! Thank you!

I spent a lovely time visiting my friend Valentina in London, and came back in a fall vibe, even though it's spring here now.
These are amazing, Helen!
I love the golden topping.

I wish I could send you some of my Pacific Northwest autumn...rainy, blustery, crisp, fall days! I too have been in the spirit of the crumble. I've always wondered if the extra crumble could be saved for later, thank you!

I love your photo of the pinecone cozily nestled in it's nest of leaves!

Happy day!
