Every fall, a friend of the family brings over about 20 pounds of unwanted quinces, so I've gotten a lot of practice with creative quince use. As annoying as they can be to clean and chop, the payoff for me is their pretty pink color when they've been cooked long enough and these kolacky make a nice frame for the colorful filling. The dough for these isn't too sweet, so its a nice balance to other more sugary and buttery items on the Christmas dessert table.
