Quince in a Jar

23 July 2020

Serves : 6

Time needed : 1h 30m

Difficulty : easy

Travel to the French countryside with the instantly recognisable taste of quince paste. Reminiscent of cheese plates brimming with brie, this fruity alternative is the next best thing. Keep a jar in the fridge for when you get peckish, or serve up a whole set at your next event. 

Ingredients

4 quinces

1 1/2 l water

500 g | 2 cups caster sugar

2 vanilla pods, split

4 small cinnamon sticks

1 tbsp cardamom pods, lightly crushed

Method

1. Peel, quarter, and core the quince, keeping the peelings. 
2. Combine water, sugar, vanilla pods, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods in a large, heavy-based saucepan. 
3. Bring to the boil, stirring, and then let cool until the sugar has dissolved. Add the quince and peelings to the syrup. 
4. Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 1 hour until the quince is very tender. 
5. Remove the quince from the syrup and transfer to sterilised jars. Cover and chill. 
6. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before discard the peelings. Pour the syrup over the quince and chill until ready to serve.
