I believe the answer is:

doorjamb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it holds up entrance' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'perform stuff from quince in globe' is the wordplay.
'perform' becomes 'do' (both can mean complete an action).
'stuff from quince' becomes 'jam' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'globe' becomes 'orb' (synonyms).
'jam' put inside 'orb' is 'orjamb'.
'do'+'orjamb'='DOORJAMB'

Can you help me to learn more?
