Canning and Preserving Recipes

Quince Marmalade

High in pectin, quince are used to make jam, jelly and quince pudding, or they may be peeled, then roasted, baked or stewed. The flesh of the fruit turns red after a long cooking time. The very strong perfume means they can be added in small quantities to apple pies and jam to enhance the flavor. Adding a diced quince to applesauce will enhance the taste of the apple sauce with the chunks of relatively firm, tart quince.
