Quince Jam
The most guaranteed and easiest quince jam recipe. Chop it as you wish.
Equipment
- 6 jars (425cc)
Ingredients
- 2 kg quinces (approx. 4.4 pounds, 4 big quinces)
- 2 kg granulated sugar
- 2 lt water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ½ tsp butter (to prevent foaming)
- 10 cloves (optional but strongly recommended)
- Quince seeds (to give color, optional)
Instructions
- Wash the quinces well, peel them and remove their seeds. Do not throw away the seeds, you can use them to add reddish color to your jam.
- Cut the quinces into cubes or any shape you like and place them in a pot.
- Add the sugar, then wrap the quince seeds in a tea brewing bag and place them in the pot. (If you don’t mind seeds in the jam, you can put them in without the bag.)
- Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook until the quinces are soft. This process may take about 50-60 minutes.
- When it starts to reach the consistency of jam, add the lemon juice and butter. Butter prevents the jam from foaming and gives it a shiny appearance. After boiling for a few more minutes, remove from the stove.
