Homemade Quince Jam

Ingredients

  • Quinces
  • Water
  • Sugar (3/4 cup per cup of quince pulp)

Method

  1. 1 Wipe quinces, remove blossom ends, and cut into quarters. Remove seeds and cut the flesh into small pieces.
  2. 2 Place quinces in a preserving kettle with enough water to nearly cover them. Cook slowly until the fruit is soft.
  3. 3 Rub the cooked quinces through a hair sieve. Add heated sugar, using three-fourths the measure of the pulp.
  4. 4 Cook slowly for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pour into tumblers to set.
