Quince
Jam Serves: Makes 10
X 250Ml Jars
Quinces - this knobbly out of shape pear-look-a-like
makes the most wonderful jam.
Ingredients
5 large quinces
1 1/2 litres water
2.25 kg sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Method
1. Wipe the quinces well to remove the downy fluff.
2. Place them in a large preserving pan with the water.
3. Boil
for 25-30 minutes until the quinces are soft and the skin has split. Lift
the fruit from the water and when cool enough to handle, peel and core.
Cut the fruit into small 1cm size pieces.
4. Pour the sugar into the
preserving pan with quince liquid and stir over a moderate heat until
dissolved. Return the chopped fruit and lemon juice to the pan and boil
for about 20 minutes until the fruit is a rosy pink colour and the jam
reaches setting point. Bottle into hot sterlised jars and seal while hot.
