Ingredients
- 4 medium Quinces
- 2 cups Apple juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 4 Whole cloves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the quinces thoroughly under running water to remove any fuzz.
Step 2
Peel and core the quinces, then chop them into small, even-sized pieces for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped quinces, apple juice, and lemon juice.
Step 4
Add the cinnamon stick and whole cloves to the saucepan for a hint of spice.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the quince pieces are evenly covered with liquid.
Step 6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinces are very soft and the liquid has slightly thickened.
Step 7
Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the mixture to your desired consistency. Be cautious while blending as the mixture will be hot.
Step 8
Return the blended mixture to the saucepan, if necessary, and cook for another 5-10 minutes over low heat until the jam reaches your desired thickness.
Step 9
Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves from the jam before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage.
Step 10
Allow the jam to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. The jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
