From Perfume to Honey

My fruit and flowers were used by the ancient Romans for everything from perfume to honey. I was also considered a symbol of love and given to one’s intended as a sign of commitment. Even though I have been around for over 4,000 years my popularity remains very strong in Asian and Mediterranean countries and my status is growing in the New world. My yellow skinned fruit looks like a cross between an apple and a pear, but I am not either. While they are few that will eat me raw, I am best for the digestion when cooked. My intense fragrance and high pectin content makes me a natural for jams, jellies, and marmalades. In fact, the word marmalade comes from “marmelo”, which is the Portuguese word for my name. Added to an apple or pear tart I am that burst of extra flavor. I’m also great added to a pork casserole, or try me in a chicken pot roast for an unusual and exquisite flavor. We are a good source of potassium as well as containing copper and vitamin C. I also help cleanse the gastrointestinal system.

What am I?

Pear-apples
Persimmon
Guava
Quince
