Quince compote for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products.

2. Step 2:

   

   The first thing in this recipe is to prepare the jars, everything else will not take much time and effort. Rinse the cans with baking soda, rinse well under running water. Wet put in a cold oven with the neck down, also spread out the lids. Turn on at 150 degrees, after reaching the set temperature, sterilize the jars 1L - 15 minutes, 2L - 20, 3L - 25 minutes. For me, this method of sterilization is the most convenient, I have been using it for many years, I have not failed.

3. Step 3:

   

   Remove the down from the quince by wiping with a dry towel and thoroughly wash. Cut off the hard dark top with the remains of the flower and the bottom of the fruit. Cut the quince into quarters, from which to cut the seed chamber together with the seeds. Without removing the peel, cut into thin plates. Sliced quince should be immediately immersed in water acidified with lemon or citric acid, so it will not turn black.

4. Step 4:

   

   Lay out the quince slices in sterilized jars. I was cooking 2 cans of 0.7 liters, so I divided the quince and sugar into 2 parts. In each jar add sugar 3st.l. with a small slide.

6. Step 5:

   

   Boil the water and pour it right out of the kettle carefully into the jars to the edge. Cover with a lid and leave for 15 minutes, during which time pasteurization will occur. Pour only steep boiling water, how much will fit in a jar, I needed 1L of water in 2 cans.

7. Step 6:

   

   After the prescribed time, drain the water from both cans into a saucepan, it is convenient to drain through a special lid with holes. Add another 100 ml of water and bring to a boil. Let the syrup boil for about 3-4 minutes. Add citric acid to each jar on the tip of a knife. Then pour boiling syrup over the cans of quince with overflow.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cover the jar with a lid, leaving it in this position for 2-3 minutes so that the air bubbles contained in the water and fruit rise to the surface of the water, then tighten the lid. Wipe and roll on the table, checking for sealing. /It is better to use natural wood/. If there is not enough syrup, just add boiling water. Turn it over on the lid, cover it with a blanket and leave it to cool down. Then immediately take it to a cool, dark place for storage or put it in the refrigerator.
