IN SEASON<br />

Apples and pears<br />

aren’t the only fall<br />

fruits—try their<br />

relative, the quince.<br />

The flesh is tart,<br />

even astringent, when<br />

raw, but cooking<br />

coaxes out its sweetness.<br />

Quinces are<br />

delicious in desserts<br />

and savory dishes.<br />

HALLOWEEN TRICK<br />

Long-Lasting<br />

Jack-o’-Lanterns<br />

For a decoration you can enjoy<br />

year after year, start with a Fun-<br />

Kin. The realistic faux pumpkins,<br />

made of low-density foam, carve<br />

like the real thing but with a lot<br />

less mess. To use one as a candy<br />

dish, carve a wide mouth and<br />

place a bowl inside for treats.<br />
