Use this tart compote to make our Pumpkin Layer Cake. Overly ripe quinces may not retain their shape as they simmer, so it's best to use ones that have just ripened.

QUINCE JAM



Quince Jam image

Quince makes beautiful jam thanks to its deep pink color once cooked. It's also naturally high in pectin, so it thickens nicely without having to use thickeners. It goes very well with meats and cheeses. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

QUINCE-GINGER MARMALADE (JAM)



Quince-Ginger Marmalade (Jam) image

This is the easiest, quickest spread I have ever made. I didn't have a recipe so I improvised and it worked. The quince sets beautifully so you need no pectin. The ginger gives it a lovely flavor for your wakeuo toast. This recipe can be doubled. I believe there are some quince that need longer cooking time than the ones I have. I have looked at several recipes on the Internet and they say to boil for 2 hours so you will have to boil until softened

Tips:

  • To easily remove the skin from the quinces, score them with a sharp knife and then place them in boiling water for a few minutes. The skin should then peel off easily.
  • If you don't have a preserving pan, you can use a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Just make sure that it is made of a non-reactive material, such as stainless steel or enamel.
  • To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
  • Store the jam in sterilized jars in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Quince and ginger jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or chicken, or as a filling for pies and tarts.
