Ingredients

2.5 pounds ripe quinces
1 medium lemon
1 cup water
2 cups white sugar
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick

Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.
Step 2

Wash quinces under running water with a soft sponge or fruit brush to remove the fuzzy outer layer.
Step 3

Zest lemon; set zest aside. Squeeze lemon juice into a saucepan.
Step 4

Add water to lemon juice in the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add quinces and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and cinnamon stick. Reduce the heat and simmer until quinces are soft, about 45 minutes.
Step 5

Remove from the heat. Discard cinnamon stick and stir in lemon zest.
Step 6

Pass hot mixture through a sieve into a bowl to create a semi-smooth consistency.
Step 7

Allow to cool and thicken for 30 to 45 minutes, then pour into sealable jars.
