Quince makes beautiful jam thanks to its deep pink color once cooked. It's naturally high in pectin, so it thickens nicely without having to use thickeners.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Wash quince under running water, removing the fuzzy outer layer with a soft sponge or fruit brush.
Step 2
Heat water and lemon juice to a simmer in a saucepan. Add quince. Bring to a boil and add sugar and cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until fruit is soft, about 45 minutes.
Step 3
Remove saucepan from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Mix in lemon zest. Pass hot mixture through a sieve into a bowl to create a semi-smooth consistency. Allow to cool and thicken before pouring into sealable jars.
