Quiddany

Posted August 2019 
by Stephen Schmidt 

Also spelled “quidony” and in various other ways. From the French cotignac, or “quince jelly,” the word originally designated a stiff, molded jelly, often clouded with fruit particles, made from quince. During the mid-seventeenth century, the word broadened to encompass jellies of like kind made from a variety of fruits. By the end of the century, the word had been largely displaced by the modern word “jelly.”
