The subtle charms of quinces are easily revealed. Naturally occurring pectin in the fruit lets preserves set without added thickeners.

Yield Makes about 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 quinces (about 2 pounds total), trimmed
5 1/2 cups sugar
5 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bring quinces, 1/2 cup sugar, and the water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until quinces are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer quinces to a plate to cool. Reserve cooking liquid.
  • Coarsely chop quinces, and return to pot (including seeds, cores, skins). Bring to a boil. Slowly stir in remaining 5 cups sugar and the lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until preserves are thick, orange, and register 220 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 25 minutes. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids. Let cool.

I had never heard of quince preserves before, but I'm so glad I tried them! They're so delicious and unique. I'll definitely be making them again.

These preserves are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend using less sugar if you prefer a less sweet preserve.

I love the combination of quince and spices in this recipe. The preserves are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and they're perfect for spreading on toast or crackers. I also like to use them as a filling for pies and tarts.

This was my first time making quince preserves, and they turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the preserves set up perfectly. I can't wait to try them on some toast tomorrow morning.

I've made this quince preserves recipe a few times now, and it always comes out perfectly! The preserves are sweet and tangy, with a beautiful amber color. I love spreading it on toast or crackers, or using it as a filling for pies and tarts.
