Instructions
-
Wipe quinces clean, then quarter and core them, placing cores and seeds in a tied cloth.
-
Dice the quinces and combine with water and the seed sachet in a jam pan.
-
Thinly slice lemons and add to the pan.
-
Simmer for 45-60 minutes until tender, then remove and discard the seed sachet.
-
Warm sugar in a 250F oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 1 minute; stir into the fruit mixture.
-
Boil rapidly until the quince turns rich pink and reaches the setting point, testing on a chilled saucer until it forms a skin and runs lumpy.
-
Pour into sterilized jars, lid them, and invert for two minutes to seal.
-
Once cold, label and store in a cool place for up to 12 months.
