• 1 cup water
• 1 medium lemon

• 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

Gather all ingredients.

Step 4

Add water to lemon juice in the saucepan 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.

Step 5

Remove from the heat. Discard cinnamon stick and stir in lemon zest.

Step 6

Pass hot mixture through a sieve into a bowl to create a semi-smooth consistency.

Step 7

Allow to cool and thicken for 30 to 45 minutes, then pour into sealable jars.
