Chinese quince or karin is not eaten raw, but is dipped in alcohol or honey and used to make quince wine or quince syrup. It contains ingredients that are good for the throat, and in cold winters it is said to be good for preventing colds if drunk warm.
カリンは生では食べられませんが、お酒や蜂蜜などにつけてカリン酒やカリンシロップにして使います. 喉によい成分が入っていて、寒い冬には温めて飲むと風邪の予防にもなると言われています.
There is a Chinese quince tree in the Bluebell garden that bears fruit every year. This year there are not many fruits, but they have not been damaged by typhoons and are ripening yellow. Some of the fruits fall off naturally, so we harvest them little by little.
ブルーベルの庭にカリンの木があって、毎年実をつけます. 今年は実の数は少ないけど、台風の被害がなくて黄色く熟してきています. 自然に落ちたりもしますので、少しずつ収穫しています.

This year we decided to soak them in honey and make quince syrup.
今年は蜂蜜漬けにしてカリンシロップを作ることにしました.
I had some quince syrup left over from last year, so I warmed it up and drank it. It is very sweet, sour and has a mellow aroma.
去年作ったカリンシロップが残っていたので、温めて飲みました. とても甘くて酸っぱくて、芳醇な香りが楽しめます.
