Ingredients
12 servings
- •2.5 pounds ripe quinces
- •1 medium lemon
- •1 cup water
- •2 cups white sugar
- •1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Wash quinces under running water with a soft sponge or fruit brush to remove the fuzzy outer layer.
- Zest lemon; set zest aside. Squeeze lemon juice into a saucepan.
- Add water to lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add quinces and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and cinnamon stick. Reduce the heat and simmer until quinces are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard cinnamon stick and stir in lemon juice.
- Pass hot mixture through a sieve into a bowl to create a semi-smooth consistency. Allow to cool and thicken for 30 to 45 minutes, then pour into sealable jars.
