Dried quince - drying at home
Quince has a tart, sweet and sour taste, but the pulp itself is so hard that it is practically not consumed fresh. Although quince can be stored for up to 5 months without any problems, it is better to immediately process it and make it suitable for consumption in order to avoid rotting and get rid of possible pests that have settled in the fruit.
Quince dried in the oven
Ripe quince fruits should be peeled, seeds removed, and cut into slices, like apples, pears, and other similar fruits.
You can immediately lay out the slices on a baking sheet and send them to dry in the oven, but then the drying will be very harsh, and subsequently the dried quince will only be used for compotes, jelly, or as an additive to meat dishes.
In the oven, the quince is dried at a temperature of +90 degrees, for 6 hours, with the door ajar.
Quince dried in an electric dryer
It is quite simple to prepare dried quince fruits suitable for eating. Prepare syrup for 1 kg of peeled fruit:
- 1 glass of water;
2 cups sugar;
0.5 teaspoon of citric acid.
Boil the syrup, add the prepared quince pieces into it and boil for 5 minutes. After this, turn off the gas and let it sit until it cools completely.
Drain the syrup, lightly dry the pieces, and place the quince on the tray of an electric dryer. Drying time depends on the size of the quince pieces and how dry you want the pieces to be.
On average, drying takes about 6 hours, at a temperature of +50 degrees.
