Ingredients
2 kg quinces
2 litres of water
1.5 kg of sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1. Bring the water to the boil in a large pot with the lemon juice.
2. Wash, peel and core quinces.
3. Chop quince flesh coarsely and add to boiling water. Cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
4. Drain and pop into a food processor. Give it a quick blitz as you still want a bit of texture.
5. Put everything back in the pan with the sugar, I use raw sugar because I prefer the taste but you could use any type. 6. Cook, stirring over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. 7. Continue to cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally until the quince paste is very thick. By this stage the paste will have developed a beautiful rich ruby colour. This could take up to about 3 hours, but it is definitely worth it.

Really happy you liked the post. I hope you give the quince paste a go because it really is yum.
