Recommendations for making delicious quince jam

Every housewife has her own culinary secrets. They are obtained by trial and error.

We will give the most popular recommendations from housewives that will come in handy when preparing a delicious dessert:

1. When choosing quince for jam, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the fruit and its color. A good ripe quince is uniformly colored light yellow. It is difficult to prepare a delicious dessert from unripe quince. Rot only worsens the taste of fruits and jam.
2. It will take three days to prepare quince jam. The fruits require stage-by-stage heat treatment so that the jam does not taste harsh. If you cook the dessert for a long time at once, the jam will become too thick and will look more like marmalade made from pieces of fruit and syrup.
3. Boil the jam for half an hour the first time and two more times for 15 minutes. The break between boiling should be at least 6 hours, and preferably 12 hours. This approach to preparing dessert will allow you to get delicious jam with soft pieces of quince, but at the same time they will keep their shape.
4. Quince jam turns out to be bright red. To soften it, add lemon juice or chopped lemon to the dessert.
5. It is important to maintain the proportionality of the main ingredients. If you take 1 kg of peeled quince for dessert, then you need the same amount of sugar. The natural astringency of quince is reduced by adding various oriental spices, nuts, vanillin, citric acid or cinnamon to the jam.

Place the crushed quince in an enamel pan, add water, boil for 30 minutes, then add sugar and cook over low heat with constant stirring until done, detecting it by detecting a drop of jam. The jam should have a nice dark pink color. Pour the finished jam while hot into heated dry jars, cover with lids and leave until cooled. For 1 kg of crushed quince - 4 glasses of water, 2 kg of sugar.

QUINCE JELLY For jelly, smaller and greenish fruits are used, as well as cut skins and seeds left after making jam. Wipe the fruits with a cloth to remove fluffy residue, wash and cut into slices, without cutting off the skin or removing the seed pod, since they contain the most pectin. Pour water over the chopped fruits until it barely covers them and cook until soft. Strain the resulting juice through cheesecloth, without pressing on the fruit, so that the juice is clear. Add sugar to the juice and cook until required thickness. A few minutes before removing from heat, add citric acid.

For 2 kg of puree - 1 kg of sugar.

QUINCE JAM Wipe the ripe fruits, wash them, peel them, cut them into 4 parts, and remove the seed pods. Place the fruits in acidified water (2.5 g of citric acid per 1 liter of water).

Meat with quince

This fruit is very often used in preparing beef, lamb and poultry dishes. Quince also goes well with pork. To prepare, take 400 grams of meat, one onion, 400 grams of quince, vegetable oil, spices and salt. First you need to cut the quince into slices and fry them on each side until golden brown in a frying pan with the addition of vegetable oil. At the same time, the fruit is salted and peppered. Then put the prepared quince aside.

After this, cut the meat into portions and fry them in the same oil that is left over from preparing the quince. After this, transfer the meat to the pan and add salt and pepper to it. Place fried onions on top and pour in a little broth, water or wine. The meat should be stewed until cooked. Then add quince and the necessary spices to it and leave it on the stove, turning the heat to minimum, for about 20 minutes. Fragrant and appetizing meat with quince is ready.

3. Place the prepared pear in a larger saucepan. Drain the water from the boiled quince and place the fruit on the pear. Sprinkle sugar on top. It is necessary to give the fruit time to release its juice.

4. Place the fruits and juice on the fire and bring to a boil. Cook dessert for 5 minutes. Set aside until completely cool. Repeat the boiling process 4 times to obtain the dessert of the desired thickness.

5. Pour the prepared hot pear and Japanese quince jam into jars and close tightly.

Cooking methods

In reality, there are many ways to make quince jam. But as it turns out, in practice, only two or three methods of making quince dessert for the winter are used. These methods are similar and not as complicated, which makes them more common. The cooking algorithm boils down to cooking, which alternates with cooling.

Stages of preparing quince jam:

• peeling, removing the seed pod, slicing with a knife or chopping with a blender;
• preparing sugar syrup;
• mixing with syrup and subsequent cooking in several stages;
• adding citric acid, as well as other ingredients to taste;
• laying in sterilized glass containers, twisting.

Quince jam in a slow cooker

You can use a slow cooker to make jam. The quince must be cut into pieces, covered with sugar, and left for 3 days. The resulting fruit-sugar mass is placed in the multicooker for 40 minutes in the “Stew” mode. The result is jam with a dense, homogeneous consistency.

Quince jam in a bread maker

The fastest way to make jam is to use a bread machine. Cut the fruits into small cubes and place in a mold. Sprinkle a layer of sugar on top. Next you need to set the jam cooking mode. Approximately 20 minutes before the end of the process, add lemon juice or citric acid to the fruit-sugar mixture. If desired, you can add citrus zest.

Quince jam is interesting due to its wide variety of additional components. To enrich the flavor and aromatic bouquet, you can add citrus fruits (lemon, orange), walnuts, and cinnamon to quince. The combination with pumpkin, apple, and pear makes the jam more tender. A persistent aroma is inherent in preparations with the addition of honey, ginger, and vanillin.

The high content of pectin in quince fruits affects the consistency of the finished jam. It has a jelly-like, dense appearance. The taste is sweet and tart. Color - golden.

Large quince fruits have valuable qualities, especially high pectin content. In addition, the aromatic fruit is rich in copper, iron, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. Quince jam will serve as an excellent replenishment of vitamins during the long winter months. It can also be used for medicinal purposes.

Quince jam: the most delicious recipe with orange

To make a delicious dessert you will need 2.5 kg of ripe quince without rot, 2 large oranges and 2 kg of sugar. Fresh quince itself is a hard fruit, so water must be added to make jam. In our case, you will need 2 liters of purified water.

Cooking steps:

1. Wash the quince thoroughly with a sponge to remove the fleecy part of the peel.

   
   Cut the fruit into several pieces to remove the core and seeds. Peel the peel. After processing, approximately 2 kg of quince will remain.

2. Place the cut out core and peeled skin into a separate pan, add water and cook for a quarter of an hour.

3. Drain the broth and add sugar to it. Cook the aromatic syrup for at least 5 minutes.
4. Cut the peeled quince slices into cubes and place in a deep bowl or pan.
5. Pour boiling syrup over the quince. Close the lid and let the jam brew for 12 hours.
6. Wash the oranges under hot water and dry with a kitchen towel. Without peeling, cut into medium-sized cubes and add to the container with jam.

7. Put the quince jam with orange on the fire, bring to a boil and cook for half an hour.
8. Sterilize half-liter jars in the oven or microwave.
9. Place hot jam into dry jars and close with lids.

Fragrant orange and quince jam is used in the complex treatment of flu and colds.

Shelf life

The shelf life of quince jam depends on the recipe and ingredients. On average up to 1 year, maximum up to 3 years.

Jars of jam should be stored in a cool, dry place without access to daylight, along with other preserves. The optimal temperature is +10-15ºС.

Quince jam is prone to sugaring, even if the cooking process is not disrupted. But if this does happen, you need to add a couple of tablespoons of cold water to it. Immerse the jar in a container of cold water (to the level of the jam in the jar) and heat the water, but not to a boil. After the sugar has melted and the water in the pan has cooled, take out the jar and seal it.

   Place the quince and pumpkin in a thick-bottomed bowl in layers, sprinkling each layer with lemon juice.

3. After 12 hours, juice will appear in the basin. Boil the contents of the basin over medium heat.

   
   After boiling, reduce the heat to minimum power and cook for half an hour. During this time, stir several times with a spatula.
