Place peels and cores into a pan with remaining water and boil for 30 minutes. Strain and make liquid up to 2 cups with water. Add liquid from peels to sliced quinces in pan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour until quince flesh is very tender. Scald a large piece of cheese cloth or doubled butter muslin, wring out and drape over a deep bowl. Pour quince and liquid into clean cloth and gather up ends. Tie with string and suspend over bowl. Secure to a fixed object so that juice can drip slowly into bowl. Leave for 24 hours. Do not squeeze bag to hasten dripping as this will make jelly cloudy. Measure juice into clean preserving pan. For each cup of juice add 1 cup sugar. Stir over heat till sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and washed geranium leaves and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly for 25 minutes, skimming frequently. Test a teaspoonful on a cold saucer. Leave to cool. Run finger across jelly in saucer ~ setting point is reached when surface wrinkles. It is advisable to remove pan from heat while jelly is being tested as you would overcook the jelly.

We wound up with quite a lot of quince, 73 pounds of smallish, very ripe quince. We didn't use them all, but did cook lots of them til barely tender ( could pierce easily with a knife), peeled ( very thin skins) and cored and chopped them. All the peels and cores went back with the saved cooking water and boiled for about 20 minutes to enrich the water. We removed the peels and other solids. We then cooked the water down to about 1/3 of its volume Now to the jam making: for each 20 cups of chopped quince we used 1 bag ( about 3 cups) of cranberries and 7 1/2 cups of sugar ( 1 1/2 cups sugar to 4 cups of quince). Put all of t his in the pot with the liquid and cook until it tests done on a frozen plate. Bottle, put on lids and rings as usual with 1/4 inch headspace and BWB for 10 minutes after it comes to the boil. Our forty cups ( twice this) gave us 21 500 ml ( pint) jars. It tastes great. The Cranberry Quince ( and usually apple) mix is called "Paradise". You can make either jam or jelly with this combination. I based the method on Elizabeth David's French Provincial Cookbook recipe.

Sounds like your results were nothing > short of spectacular! No joking. I've done this slow-cooker quince jam several times, each with different results, all good. One time, I cooked them on a very low setting for a couple days with an equal weight of sugar. They turned a glorious mahogany color and set up nicely. That batch was chunks that stayed as chunks in a lovely matrix of jelly (cloudy though it was). Another time, I quartered the quinces and cooked them (peels, seeds and all) in apricot nectar overnight and ran the whole business through a food mill to make something more like a butter. I've also actually made "proper" quince preserves and even once made a quince pickle much like pickled watermelon rind. It was good enough, but not good enough to repeat. Pastorio |
