- Add lemon juice to a large bowl of water.
- Peel the quinces then cut into pieces and place immediately into the lemon water. This will stop any discolouration.
- Juice quince in a steam juicer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Mix quince juice with orange juice and sugar.
- Pour into a heavy pot and bring to the boil. Boil for 3 minutes.
- Pour jam into hot sterilised screw cap jars and store upside down until a vacuum forms.
Tip
In step 4 you can begin testing for the setting point by placing a drop of the jelly onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger it is ready to be placed in jars.
