This quince jelly is an old family recipe. Quince is a fruit related to apples and pears — it has a bright flavor but is quite tart. This jelly is the perfect way to use quince fruit.

Pork Chops with Garden Rice
This is my favorite pork chop recipe. The rice is both colorful and flavorful, and the chops are so tender that they fall off the bone.
