- Jam made with this recipe comes out thick and syrupy, with a lovely tartness to it. All you have to do is follow the steps below:
- Wash the quinces well, peel them, cut out any bad spots and the cores, then cut the flesh into small cubes. Transfer the chopped quince to a good-sized bowl. 2. Pour the measured water into a medium saucepan, add the quince cubes, and pour in the lemon juice. Stir everything together well. 3. Set the pan over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it boils, add the granulated sugar and stir again. 4. Cook the jam over high heat until it thickens, stirring often and skimming off any foam. 5. Meanwhile, prepare your jars (smaller jars work best—you'll need about three half-pint jars in all) by sterilizing them in the oven or any other way you like. For the oven method, wash the jars well and, while still wet, set them upside down in a cold oven; you can lay the lids in there too. Turn the oven to 265°F (130°C) and leave the jars inside for 15 minutes. 6. Ladle the finished thickened jam, while still hot, into the prepared jars, seal with the lids, and turn them upside down. Wrap them in a blanket and leave for a day. Once that time is up, move the jars of jam to the pantry. All done—enjoy!
