Quince Meaning in English
word
释义
A quince is a hard, yellow fruit that looks like a cross between an apple and a pear. It is usually cooked and used in jams, jellies, or desserts, because it is too sour to eat raw.
用法与细微差别
'Quince' refers specifically to the fruit and is not used for the number 15 in English (unlike in Spanish). Most commonly mentioned in food, especially in 'quince jam' or 'quince jelly'. Not usually eaten raw; when raw, it's tough and sour.
