Quince Preserve is a culinary delight made from an inedible raw fruit that is astounding once cooked. Unlike jam which is generally smooth in texture, this preserve contains the richest portion of actual fruits.
Quince have a beautiful inviting pink color when cooked and mixed with the sugar, the consistency becomes luscious and fragrant with a gorgeous rose-amber perfume. Quince is a seasonal, Autumn fruit so waiting for Fall to come around makes this recipe all the more special.
To make Quince Preserve, you will need the following ingredients:
Wipe fur from outside skin of quinces with a damp cloth, remove cores, seeds and chop into dice. Place into a jam pan with water.
Put cores and seeds in a cloth and tie tight then place into the pan with quince and water.
Add thinly sliced lemon and simmer for about 45-60 minutes until fruit has softened. Do not over boil the fruit.
In a steel bowl, warm sugar in a 250 °F oven for 5 minutes or microwave on a non-metallic bowl for about 1 minute.
Add warm sugar to the jam pan and boil rapidly until set and the quince is a beautiful and rich, pink color.
Pour preserve mixture into sterilized jars and seal with a lid. Invert jars, using a cloth to protect your hands, for 2 minutes to sterilize. Cool completely, wipe and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months.
