The flavor of this chutney improves if made at least one day ahead. Serve with: Indian dishes (such as basmati rice and curries), lamb, duck, pork chops, or sharp cheeses.
Test-kitchen tip:
The hard core of a quince must be carefully removed with a paring knife after each fruit is peeled and quartered. If the core is too hard to safely remove with a knife, try trimming off pieces around it, then cut them into a dice and discard the core.
