Make this recipe with the liquid from Quince Jam. Because quinces have high pectin content, it will set to a jelly without any additives. Serve as jelly on toast and breads, and as a spoon sweet.
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 measures of liquid from the Quince Jam recipe by quantity (not weight)
- 1 measure of sugar by quantity (not weight)
- lemon juice
Preparation:
- Note: If using the recipe for Quince Jam here on the site, you will start with approximately 3 1/2 cups of liquid, 1 3/4 cups of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Strain the liquid into a large saucepan, stir in sugar and boil over high heat until it melds to a steady-drip syrup, about 20-30 minutes. The quantity will reduce to about 1 cup. Skim off any foam and pour into a jar with an airtight lid. When completely cooled, seal.
This is a small quantity, but quite sweet with a delightful taste of roses.
