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 love the flavor of these preserves, but I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These quince preserves were a delight! The perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a beautiful amber color. I used them on toast, in yogurt, and even as a glaze for roasted chicken. A definite keeper recipe!
