Ingredients
  • 2-3 large quinces
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup honey
Instructions
  1. Peel, core, and chop the quinces.
  2. Place chopped quince in a pot and cover with water. Add lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium heat until quince is soft.
  4. Transfer to a food processor or use an immersion blender to puree the fruit. You should have about 2 cups of puree.
  5. Return puree to the cooking pot. Add honey and sugar and stir to combine.
  6. Simmer mixture over low to medium-low heat until mixture thickens, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  7. Continue cooking and stirring until the paste becomes the texture of a jelly candy. It will seem stretchy and the mixture will become a beautiful orange color.
  8. Pour into a greased pan and let cool. I used an 8 x 8 inch pan, but you could easily use a larger or smaller pan.
  9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
