Quince Juice is a recipe that I tried for the first time last Fall and I can’t wait to make it again this year! I was at my local farmer’s market and they had a large bucket of quince fruit. I picked up a bag of this knobbly and ugly pear-like fruit and headed home thinking about what to make with it. I’d made Quince Jelly in the past, and poached them in syrup, but I wanted to try something new!
Quince juice it was! I started by preparing the quince to remove the peel and seeds. Then I simply boiled it with sugar and water until it was soft. I drained the juice overnight before boiling it again and adding it to some sterilized bottles. Simple and delicious!
To make Quince Juice, you will need the following ingredients:
Rinse the quinces under running water. Then peel and core them and chop into chunks.
Place the quince chunks in a large pot with the water. Add sugar. Bring to boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the fruit is soft. Stir occasionally.
Line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Pour the contents of the pot into the colander and let drain overnight.
Pour the juice into a pot and bring to a boil.
Divide the juice into prepared bottles.
Serve with ice.
Next time you see quinces at your local farmers market, pick some up to make Quince Juice - you will love this seasonal drink! If you make it, please come back to leave a review!
