Instructions
- Peel the quince fruit carefully to remove the tough skin and core, then chop into small pieces.
- Place the chopped quince pieces and water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer the quince until soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add the granulated white sugar, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and fresh lemon juice to the softened quince in the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture well and continue to simmer on low heat, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens, about 30 minutes.
- To test the jam consistency, place a small spoonful on a cold plate and let it cool; if it wrinkles when pushed, it is ready.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to a sterilized jar for storage.
Tips
- Use ripe quince for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Sterilize jars properly to preserve the jam longer.
- Stir frequently during cooking to avoid burning the jam.
Serving Suggestions
- toast bread
- plain yogurt
- cheese platter
- pancakes
Enjoy this zesty orange-infused quince jam spread on toast or paired with cheese for a delightful treat.
