Agreement has been reached that for the sake of the survival of her elbows she will be doing this every two or three days, ideally in the evenings, so that I can help. Hopefully I will at least be able to substitute this for the daily five minutes with the resistance bands.
We went with a one-to-one proportion of sugar to quince for this version. Still notably sour, so that's OK.
Quinces also make a nice sour soup with chicken or pork, and I once had a delicious quince tarte tatin, but I'm not that fond of sour soup, and I'm exceedingly fond of cotignac, so we're going to stick to that, with perhaps a quince pie or two...
