Does any one have a recipe for Quince Jelly that doesn't require peeling the quinces?

Answer 1

Quince Jelly. An old English recipe that allows for any quantity of fruit.

Rub any fuzz off the quinces. Cut the fruit into chunks and remove core (no need to peel).

In large pan, cover chopped quince with water and bring to a boil.

Simmer for 40-45 minutes.

Pour stewed fruit into a muslin or cheesecloth bag (an old tea towel will do) and drain juice. Drain for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Do not squeeze the bag or the jelly will be cloudy.

Discard fruit.

For every 1 cup of juice, add 3/4 cup of sugar. Quince has a lot of natural pectin, so you don't need to add any. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat and continue to boil for 20 minutes (approx). To test if jelly is ready, pour a small amount onto a chilled plate. After a moment push with spoon. If it is beginning to set and wrinkles, it is ready.

Pour into prepared jars. Use your preferred method of sterlising/sealing.
