|
I bought 4 large Quince at the store last weekend and used recipe for pear jam for the sugar amount per 4 cups of pulp and a recipe for Plum jelly for the Quince jelly. And since I had a little leftover of both jam and jelly after filling the jars, the extra went into bowls for us to eat first and both came out delicious!!

It looks really good. I like that color. I've never made Quince anything. I think they don't grow here. I have not had any to even try. dooley

My quince bush doesn't produce enough fruits to make quince jelly with but yours certainly looks delicious Toni.

Atta girl, Toni!!!
I am most interested in what you thought of the flavour and aroma. Do you like it?
You do the same as I do with the loftovers. I don't like wasting one tiny bit.
Your jam and jelly looks really good.
You did a great job there, and you have enough to last you awhile, don't you.
Well done.

It really is good, makes me think of pear but with a bit of a spicy flavor almost like cinnamon. And it smells very good while cooking too.
I was amazed at how much those 4 Quince made. I had 14 cups of Jam and 6 cups of jelly.
We won't get to keep it all. Our oldest daughter tasted it when she stopped by this evening and wants a couple jars of the jam when it is ready and I think a couple of jars will go to my brother for Christmas.

Your jam and jelly has the most tempting colour. It looks like sunshine in a jar!  No wonder you hardly get to tighten the lids before it's all flown away.
