QUINCE MARMALADE



Quince Marmalade image

Categories     Breakfast     Quince     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes about 3 cups (900 g)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups (1 liter) water
3 cups (600 g) sugar
3 large quinces (about 1 pound/450 g), peeled, quartered, cored, and seeded
1/2 lemon, preferably organic

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a food processor fitted with a coarse grating disk or on the largest holes of a box grater, shred the quince.
  • Add the grated quince and the lemon half to the boiling sugar mixture. Decrease the heat to medium and cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick. Use the wrinkle test (page 256) to judge when the marmalade is done.
  • Remove and discard the lemon half. Ladle the marmalade into clean jars. Cover tightly, let cool, and refrigerate.
  • Storage
  • The marmalade will keep for at least 6 months in the refrigerator.
  • tip
  • Quince tend to turn brown as soon as they're cut. With cooking, any minor discoloration will fade away. But do try to get them into the hot syrup as soon as possible after they're grated.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe quinces: Use firm, ripe quinces with no blemishes or bruises. The riper the quinces, the sweeter and more flavorful the marmalade will be.
  • Peel and core the quinces: Use a sharp knife to peel the quinces, then cut them in half and remove the core. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Cook the quinces in water: Place the quinces in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the quinces are soft.
  • Make the marmalade: Once the quinces are soft, mash them with a potato masher or food processor. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pectin to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the marmalade has thickened.
  • Can the marmalade: Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars and seal tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing.

Conclusion:

Quince marmalade is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or even as a glaze for meats. It's also a great way to use up ripe quinces. With a little time and effort, you can make your own delicious quince marmalade at home.
