Quince Jelly with Star Anise image

You'd never guess from the floral flavor of rose-colored quince jelly that raw quince is quite tart. The jelly is finished with star anise for a hint of licorice, a classic pairing. Serve this with our Chicken-Liver Crostini.

Yield Makes four 1/2-pint-size jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds slightly underripe quinces, washed well and cut into pieces
7 cups water
4 cups sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 or 2 star anise

Steps:

  • Place quinces in a large saucepan. Add water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, covered, until dark pink and very soft, about 3 hours.
  • Pass through a fine sieve, pressing out liquid; discard solids. (You should have 4 cups liquid. If you don't, adjust the amount of sugar used in step 3 to maintain a 1:1 ratio.)
  • Bring quince juice, sugar, lemon juice, and star anise to a simmer in a large saucepan over high heat. Cook, skimming foam, until thick and a candy thermometer registers 220 degrees. Plate-test jelly to make sure it is set. Divide between four 1/2-pint-size sterilized glass jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at tops. Can in water bath for 10 minutes. Let stand overnight to fully set before using. Unopened jelly can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 year.

I'm not a huge fan of quince, but I really enjoyed this jelly. The star anise mellows out the tartness of the quince perfectly.

This quince jelly with star anise is a delightful treat! The jelly is beautifully clear and has a lovely golden color. The flavor is perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the quince complemented by the warm, slightly spicy notes of the star anise
