The Apicius gives a recipe for preserving whole quinces, stems and leaves attached, in a bath of honey diluted with defrutum: Roman marmalade. Preserves of quince and lemon appear (along with rose, apple, plum and pear) in the Book of ceremonies of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos."
