I know this is lame of me, but I don’t even know what a quince is! I’ve heard of them…I know they’re a fruit. But never seen one. I’m gonna have to wikipedia that.
Oh goodness me, that sounds positively amazing. What a good use for your flatmates! :)
I have to say, despite hearing quite a bit about them, I have never tried a quince, nor have I ever seen them for sale. :( Too bad, I get the feeling I am missing out.

Lucky you! I’ve had the pleasure to smell quinces several years ago (they’re not common over here), and I remember it as one of the nicest fragrance there is. Pairing them with marzipan certainly makes for a heavenly tart!
i feel bad because around this time last year i exclaimed that i had never had quince before, and here we are a year later and i still haven’t. ah ha ha! i need to keep an eye out for them, fo ‘sho! your quince tart with marzipan crust is not only gorgeous, but it sounds heavenly, Mihl! yum!
Wow! You are so talented and creative, how do you even think these things up! I love how festive and beautiful this dish is, stunning! I don’t think I’ve ever had quince….need to change that!
I just had quince for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was okay raw, but I could only eat so much of it at a time – it has such a strong, sweet flavor like candy. I can see how a marzipan type crust would help balance the flavors. I’ll bookmark this for next time I get some quinces in the organic box. =D
That’s interesting. Over here quinces are usually very hard in texture ans so tart that they are not eaten raw. I think I never had a quince that tasted sweet in its raw form.
Wow, a great idea. I’m always a little skeptical around quinces, as I don’t really know what to do with them. Once a nice guy from Iran let me taste some quince jam, and I was not impressed – it was way too sweet! But your Tart looks delicious.
I love quince, but they are so hard to find here! Your tart looks perfect for a quince lover! Whole Foods carries quince preserves, but they are way too chunky for my taste (about 1/2 inch squares!), so I empty the jar in the blender and make my own jam! :-P
Haha, such DELICIOUS flatmates ;)
Marzipan lattice rust, how creative! Lucky you, with all those quinces. You could always puree and freeze them.
I hope you get some snow this winter, too! It’s so pretty.

Your lattice looks so beautiful!

OH MAN. I’ve never had quince, that sounds so good!!
Your new flatmates sound absolutely delicious! :)
Also love how you make it snow on this site, never seen that before!

yum! marzipan is so fun.
one of my dogs is named marcel, and i call him ‘marzipan’ all the time. :)
That’s a lot of quinces! I’m really loving the marzipan lattice top–what a good idea for any pie or tart!
This sounds really good — I can just imagine the fragrance in your kitchen. And I’ll have to imagine it because I’m not sure I’ve ever had a quince.

this sounds sooo good, i love marzipan.
Yum! This looks very good!
I’ve actually never had quince, but this sounds amazing!
My mom just loves marzipan- She would go crazy for this! Such a great idea. :)

Marzipan lattice crust is a very cool idea, very creative! Looks really yummy!
This is such a creative recipe! What a great way to sweeten up the quince.
Oh wow, a marzipan crust sounds amazing!
I’ve never had quince before but now I really want to try it. Looks good!
