Description
Grandmother’s Quince Jam Recipe, an easy old-fashioned quince jam, full of flavour and indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg quince
- 800 g sugar
- 200 ml water
- 1 lemon
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise
Instructions
- Peel the quinces, cut them into quarters and remove the seeds as well as the gritty part in the center.
- Place the seeds in a small pouch (cloth tied with string) to release the natural pectin during cooking.
- Squeeze the lemon over the quince pieces, add the sugar and water, then let macerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
- Boil the seed pouch with the cinnamon and star anise in water.
- Pour this infusion into a jam pan or a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add the quince, sugar, and lemon mixture.
- Simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, uncovered, until the fruit turns red and the syrup thickens.
- Remove the seed pouch.
- Place the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal immediately, and turn the jars upside down for a few minutes.
