I make quince jelly, it turns out a lovely shade of pink. You use it as an accompliment to meat and cheese. You can also have it on toast. The fruit has a wonderful scent. You can also make quince cheese, which isn't actually cheese ; a wonderful conversation starter at raucous parties.
I would love to try it ,we have bread cheese here which is a bit of a odd one ,when I first had it I thought it was bread and butter pudding !

You can't get them in a 'normal' supermarket. Usually can find them in some Asian shops, you know, the ones where you've only heard of half of the stock. Independent greengrocers sometimes have them. There's one in Birkenhead where I've bought some before :

Anywhere really that sells not your common or garden fruit/veg.
I have a bush in the garden - the fruits are smaller than the ones that are imported from the Med and near East. Mine's very temperamental, five fruits last year, billions the year before. Mind I do bugger all to it so maybe that's why. Luckily for me, there's some bountiful bushes near me next to a garage, which as the saying goes, always bears fruit. In fact, that's why I've got one in the garden, came from seeds I used for compost. You can also make quince brandy, or a liqueur - both very nice, deceptively so.
Here's what mine look like :
Bartenders' guide to foraging: Flowering quince
Not many know that the hard, yellow fruits of the flowering quince, a popular garden shrub, make a fragrant ingredient. This edible ornamental brings an exotic, tart and aromatic flavour to seasonal cocktails.
And the imported bigger ones, although you can grow these here as well :
I don’t have Asian shops near me but I keep saying I must go in if working in Belfast. However, I do notice Polish shops popping and I can definitely get behind the pickles and sauces.You can't get them in a 'normal' supermarket.

Just keep your eyes peeled, the fruit appears around August/September and lasts for months. It's height only reaches up to your waist, sometimes though had very prickly thorns.They're also not expensive to buy, both the fruit or the bush. But it's always better if you can get things for nowt.
Suprising what you see when you look. I also make rowan jelly, and rowan gin, the trees are everywhere - as an added bonus they also ward off witches.
I’m in a country location so pretty sure I’ve never noticed it. However, with fresh eyes I will endeavour.

The fruit is quite difficult to see sometimes, so peer closely !
