Ingredients

  • 4 quinces (about 2 pounds total), trimmed
  • 5 1/2 cups sugar
  • 5 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

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.

                What did I do wrong?  I went by the recipe, and the preserves are YUMMY; however, it only resulted in 2 cups rather than 7.

                I made the quince preserves last year (we have two trees).  They are so delicious, and pretty.  I will make the preserves again this year, and plan to make the cake to put them on.  Yum!

                I'd never tried quinces before but, when I saw a basket at the farmer's market, I snagged them up. This recipe turned out to be delicious and I had plenty of preserves to freeze for future use.
