Are ornamental quince edible?

Yes, but the fruiting quince is sweeter.





Mostly used for jelly and pie, here's a recipe:

Are ornamental quince edible?
sure they are
Reply:Yes but they are incredibally sour. You can make jelly from them.
Reply:I think it depends on the variety - but yes, I can remember eating jamm made from ornamental quince.





My mom was into that sort of thing, but I've never experimented...I guess they don't taste nice raw - have you tried?





My view is, life is too short for that kind of thing. I buy my jam in Sainsburys!!!





But if you ARE into it - good luck. Let me know how it tastes and I might even try it!
Reply:I believe they are. Used to eat them from the garden as a child and it didn't do me any harm. They don't taste too good though. Better to make them into something.
