Quince is a golden fall fruit that’s too tart to eat raw, but once cooked, it transforms into a sweet, fragrant delight with hints of apple and pear. Chefs can showcase it in jams, glazes, roasted with pork or poultry, or in tarts. Quince adds a unique flavor, vibrant color, and a touch of autumn to any dish.

FreshPoint recently hosted a powerful evening that brought together culinary leaders, donors, and advocates in support of hospitality workers navigating crises through the "Help the House Foundation". The event raised vital funds to address pressing needs faced by restaurant employees, including housing insecurity, limited access to health care, mental health support, and food insecurity. Though they are the backbone of our communities, many hospitality workers still lack basic protections and essential resources.⁠

Thanks to everyone who joined us, we were able to make a meaningful impact and support those who keep our kitchens and communities running.⁠
