    Chaenomales aka Japanese quince. 

    They’re edible and when ripe they can be used to make a quince jelly or paste, and I use them to give a lovely flavour and fragrance to pot roasted pheasant and guinea fowl. 
    However they’re not suitable for eating like an apple as they don’t soften until cooked.
