Recipe Description

I love this Quince Jam recipe! It is simple to make and tastes absolutely delicious. If you’ve ever cooked with quince, you’ll know it’s like a magic ingredient. When raw, it is hard, bitter, knobbly and unappetizing. However, once cooked with sugar, the flesh changes from a pale yellow to a deep rosy color and it tastes absolutely delicious. I love quince and if you try cooking with it, I know you will too!

To sterilize jars, simply rinse out the jars, dry them, and place them in a 200 °F oven for 10 minutes without lids. Sterilize the lids by pouring boiling water over them in a large bowl. Sometimes I like to add a little bit of nutmeg, cardamom, or vanilla to spice this recipe up.

To make Quince Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
