Ingredients

  • 1 The Spice People’s Cinnamon Stick
  • 2 tsp The Spice People’s Cloves Whole
  • 2 tsp The Spice People’s Black Pepper Whole
  • 1 pinch of The Spice People’s Cayenne Pepper – optional
  • 6 whole quince approx 2kg
  • 1.25L apple cider vinegar
  • 3-5 cups white granular sugar
  • large bowl of water
  • juice of 1 lemon

Directions

  1. Wash the soft brown fur on the outside of the quinces in warm water. It rubs off easily by using your hands rather than an instrument which may bruise the quince
  2. Peel quinces then cut into eight equal segments and cut out the hardcore with a small pairing knife.
    Place lemon juice into a large bowl of water, together with the segmented quinces to prevent discoloration while processing.
  3. In a heavy-based deep pan bring vinegar, sugar, and spices to a boil, stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add quince and simmer for approximately 20 min, till just soft and the quince turns a soft pink. Watch the quince does not become mushy. Allow cooling in the pan.
  4. Spoon the quince with some juice and spices in hot clean jars. Make sure the juice covers the quinces or discoloration will occur. It takes approximately 2-3 weeks for the quince flavor to develop fully so be patient it is worth the wait.
