(Quinces growing at Tremaine Arkley's orchard in Independence)

Our October show featured:

• Barbara Ghazarian, author of the cookbook Simply Quince, on how to cook with this beguiling, old-fashioned fruit.
  
• Cookbook author Linda Ziedrich, on preparing quince paste (membrillo)
• Joseph Postman, who cultivates 100-some quince clones at the USDA's National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, home of North America's most diverse quince grove.
• Sally Hilles, of Hazelnut Hill Farm near Monroe, on this year's abundant filbert harvest.
