For 1 kg of quince you need:

1 kg sugar;
Water 2 glasses.

Wash the ripe quince fruits, peel them, and cut out the seed capsule. Grate the quince on a coarse grater and place it in a saucepan.

Pour water into the pan, bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cook the quince over very low heat for 10 minutes.

Add sugar and cook the jam for about 20 minutes while stirring continuously.

Method 2

The ratio of products is the same as in the first option. The only difference is that the quince is not grated, but cut into pieces.

Place the quince in a saucepan and add water until the water just barely covers the pieces of fruit.

Place the pan on the fire and cook the quince until softened.

Grind the quince pieces with a blender or potato masher.

Add sugar and continue cooking until done.

You can adjust the color of quince jam yourself. If you like pink jam, then you don’t need to add anything other than sugar and water.If you add citric acid at the beginning of cooking, the jam will remain light yellow. This additive has virtually no effect on the taste of the jam, and it is only a matter of the appearance of the jam.
