Quittenbäume tragen zitronengelbe Früchte: Einige Rezepte sind besonders beliebt

Dieser Obstbaum in Kaltenbrunn ist nicht zu übersehen. Wie Zitronen erstrahlen im Herbst die Quitten in einem leuchtenden Gelb. Das längst vergessene Obst bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, es zu verarbeiten. Expertinnen wissen, wie es geht.

Ein besonders hübsches Exemplar: Leuchtend gelbe Quitten hängen in Kaltenbrunn über dem Gartenzaun in der Nähe des Ortsausgangs in Weiden.
