Ingredients

  • 2 quinces skin on, sliced or cut into very small cubes
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 2 - 2 ½ cup water
  • Walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Cook quince and water (water should cover quince) in a large pan until it starts simmering.
  • Add sugar and bring it to simmer. Put the lid on.
  • Turn the heat down and let it simmer on low heat with the lid on for 4 hours until the color is dark red. Check every 30 minutes to make sure it has enough water, if water is not enough, add ½ cup more water.
  • When the jam reaches desired color and consistency, turn the heat off and let it cool with the lid on.
  • If desired, add walnuts after the jam is cool.

Notes

Having the lid on while cooking gives great color to the jam.
