This fruit goes well with any citrus fruit, but juicy oranges are most often used. This jam is suitable not only for tea, but also as a filling for pies.
The first recipe, traditional
For cooking quince jam we will need:
- peeled quince - 3 kg;
- clean water - 7 glasses;
- granulated sugar - 2 kg 500 grams;
- oranges - 1 piece.
Cooking method
- Rinse the fruits thoroughly and dry them on a towel. This recipe requires quince without skin and seeds for cooking. Therefore, we peel and cut each fruit into medium-sized cubes.
The rind and cores are useful for making syrup, so they are put in a separate saucepan. - When the fruit is sliced, let's start making the syrup. Put the set aside peel and the middle of the quince in water, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for a third of an hour.
- After that, the syrup must be filtered and poured while it is hot. Chopped quince, put on the stove and cook for ten minutes.
- Then we drain the liquid, pour out the granulated sugar specified in the recipe and set it to boil again.
- Pour the syrup into the quince and leave for half a day.
Judging by the time of infusion, it is better to fill the quince with syrup in the evening and cook in the morning. - You do not need to peel the orange, we cut it directly with the fragrant skin in the form of squares, just before laying it in the jam.
- After 12 hours, when the quince is soaked in syrup and becomes transparent, fill in the sliced orange and cook from the moment of boiling for about 40 minutes. By the end of cooking, the jam will become fragrant and amber in color.
The jam is stored in sterile jars with a twist. We shift the workpiece into them hot, turn over, cover with a towel and leave until it cools completely. Later we put it in a cool place.

For cooking jam, you must choose ripe fruits without the slightest signs of decay or cracks. After rinsing with clean water, the fruits must be dried. We do the same with an orange.
Progress:
- Select the core from the quince and cut into pieces. And according to the recipe, an orange must be chopped in a meat grinder along with the peel. The bitterness of citrus is just what you need for quince-orange jam.
- First, quince comes into play, you need to sprinkle it with granulated sugar in a cooking container, and add an orange. The mass must be gently mixed so as not to damage the integrity of the pieces.
- Set aside the vessel with the future jam for two hours so that the quince juice appears. After that, we send the pan over low heat. Jam is cooked as usual until the mass thickens. The foam that appears on the surface must be removed, otherwise the jam will turn sour or sugared.

We put away for storage after complete cooling. You can even put the jam on the bottom shelf of the kitchen cabinet, nothing will happen to it.
