Mum has given us a bag of quinces (about 8?) and we are thinking about making Quince jam / jelly. Mum said to cook the quinces, let them cool and cook again - We've not cooked quinces before Anyone got any good Quince recipes?

To make Jelly, boil covered with water till soft and mushy, use the potato masher then let them come to the boil again, strain the liquid off over night through a muslin bag or similar, measure the liquid and bring to the boil again Add equal quantitiy of sugar stir in thoroughly bring back to the boil and rolling boilt till sets. test on a cold saucer with a few drops of the liquid if it jells when cold and you push it with your finger it is ready. BUT I never use as much sugar as the recipe in any jam or jelly I always reduce because it is not good for anyone let alone a diabetic ! who should never ever eat sugar.

well my wife made the jam last night. she peeled and cut up the quinces and boiled them for about an hour, then used a potato masher and mashed them up before boiling again and adding Jam sugar and cooking for a further 20-30 mins tastes very nice!

quince jam made last week really nice, but quince relish made today big disaster. made a jeanettes recipe and it was terrible way to thick befor it was cooked, wont make the relish again but jam is sure worth it
