Tasty Facts
— Rigid and tart quince becomes soft, sweet and surprisingly fragrant only after heat treatment. Quince can not be peeled from the skin – the smell of jam will be richer.
– Quince has a very dense pulp and needs a long heat treatment, especially if the fruits are not ripe enough. Sometimes it is necessary to add another heat-infusion cycle.
– It is very important that the quince is ripe, otherwise the slices will not soak in the syrup and remain tough. Leave green fruits to ripen in a dark place. After ripening, they can be used to make jam.
– You should not use a slow cooker and a bread machine to make this type of jam, since the dessert takes a long time to cook – it is not only boiled, but also insisted.
– A guide that quince jam with nuts is ready is the transparency and softness of quince slices, which acquire an amber color.
