Quince Jam

Not quite an apple, not quite a pear, but so delicious!

  • 2lbs quince
  • 1.5 lemons, juiced and divided
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Step 1

Prepare a large bowl of water and add juice of 1 lemon to the bowl. Also fill a large saucepan with water, and set to high heat to boil. Peel, core and chop the quince. Place each chopped piece in the bowl as you go to prevent oxidation. Once you have all pieces in the bowl, add them to the saucepan with boiling water. 


Step 2

Boil them until soft. roughly 15-20 minutes. Mix the broken-down quince with 1/2 lemon and 1 tbsp sugar. Mix it altogether and check the consistency: If you’d like it softer, cook the mixture down further in a saucepan to your preferred consistency. Otherwise it’s ready to enjoy.
