Ingredients

  • 4lb (1.8 kg) quinces
  • 6 pints (3.5

Method

Quinces turn yellow when ready for picking and can be quite difficult to see in a tree with yellow autumn leaves. They are as hard as wood but quickly turn to pulp like cooking apples, and they make a pink jelly that has a sharp flavour.

Coarsely chop the quinces and put them into a preserving pan. Add 4 pints<
