But various preparations prepared from it turn out to be very pleasant and aromatic. Therefore, if you have quince, it would be a sin not to prepare a delicious and aromatic homemade quince compote for the winter.
How and how much to cook quince compote for the winter.
To cook a delicious compote, you need to take ripe fruits, wash them, cut out the centers and cut them into slices. It is necessary to throw away all the seeds; they become toxic when they enter the stomach.
Place the quince in a cooking container, add boiling water and blanch for 10-12 minutes at a temperature of at least 90 degrees.
Then, quickly cool in cold water.
From 350 g of sugar per 1 liter of water you need to make syrup.

Cool the rolled jars upside down.
Jars of quince compote will be perfectly preserved not only in the cellar, but also in the pantry of an ordinary city apartment.
