quince jam

this is my great grandma recipy and i am happy to share
normally you make a syrup, then add fruit
heres the trick to make its flavour richer

Ingredients
quince 1 kg

sugar 1,5 kg

Method
peel the quince, and boil the peel in about 1 l of water (20 min approx). throw it away
cut the quince in cubes and cook it in the water where peel was until its soft (another 20-30 mins)
put sugar in the pot, add around a 200 ml of water where peel and quince were cooked and make syrup boil
add the soft cooked quince and make it boil twice
then cook on low heat until cubes get almost transparent (and change color to orange or almost red) (approx 1-2 hrs)
leave till its cold (better for a night) then put into jars

tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...

Cooked when the cubes go transparent is really interesting. This is NOT mentioned with other jam recipes. Errol
