So I had some quince. 2.5 months later I'm straining that mess off. I'm not sure, but I think it might be fabulous. Or almost fabulous. A ton of pectin soaked out of the quince so the liqueur is really syrupy. Too syrupy to put through coffee filters so, I'm settling for straining through a floursack towel. The liqueur has an amazing mouthfeel but is cloudy, I'm not sure I care. The perfume of the quince isn't present, but there are elusive dried fruit notes and it's not too sweet. Not unpleasant straight. Could be amazing in the right cocktail.
