    No pics but they are most probably quinces. You can make quince jelly from them, but thats about all.

    Almost certainly quince (japonica) - not the true quince that grows on trees as far as I know - but they have a lovely colour, a nice spicy smell and as looksee says they do make a lovely, slightly bitter, jelly.
