Quince Jam
3 cups (about 4 fruits) quince peeled and cut in 1/2” dice
3 cups water + as much as needed***
Juice I lemon
2 cups gran sugar
Add all ingredients to a heavy saucepan. Boil until the quince is soft and pink in color. If the jam is getting thick but not quite done, add a cup of water by and boil more. Continue to do this until the jam is the consistency you want and a beautiful pink color. This took me 60 minutes of boiling with occasional stirring on medium-high heat. Store in the fridge in a sealed jar for up to a few weeks.
*** The mixture may thicken before the jam is done and the fruit turns pink, add water and continue cooking. Keep adding water as needed to achieve the right color and consistency.
