Quince jam - recipe with step-by-step photos

Ingredients :

• 950 grams of clean, chopped quince fruits
• 800 milliliters water
• 350 grams sugar
• 1 lemon
• cinnamon, vanilla (optional)

Clean and cut the fruit in thin slices.

Cover them with water and add the juice from the lemon.

Let it boil at slow fire for 10 - 15 minutes or until tender. Strain the quinces from the juice (water/lemon)

Don´t throw away the water in which the quinces boiled. Put it in bottles in the fridge and you can consume it during the next days as a natural juice.
 

Add the sugar over the strained (almost mashed) quinces and let it simmer at slow fire for another 20 minutes mixing from time to time.

Meanwhile sterilize the jars: put the uncovered jars in the oven at 130 Celsius degrees for 10 minutes.

You can finish off the jam by adding vanilla or cinnamon if you like. We didn´t and it was really good without any other flavor.

Take away from fire and leave 1-2 minutes  aside, then pour the hot jam in the sterilised jars and seal them well.

Turn the jars upside down to seal better and let them over night.

Enjoy!
