Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
• 2.5 pounds ripe quinces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Wash quinces under running water with a soft sponge or fruit brush to remove the fuzzy outer layer.

Step 2

Zest lemon; set zest aside. Squeeze lemon juice into a saucepan.

Step 3

Add water to lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add quinces and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and cinnamon stick. Reduce the heat and simmer until quinces are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard cinnamon stick and stir in lemon juice.

Step 4

Pass hot mixture through a sieve into a bowl to create a semi-smooth consistency. Allow to cool and thicken for 30 to 45 minutes, then pour into sealable jars.
