Autumn recipe: Quince jam
Autumn is drawing in in the Hall-Wattens region. This also marks the start of quince season once again. The fruit is in season from September to November. Here is a recipe for quince jam. As well as jam and marmalade, quinces are also used to make liqueur, syrup, jelly, quince bread and desserts. Quinces are not suitable for eating raw.
List of ingredients: Quince jam
- 3 kg quinces
- 2.5 l water
- 500 g sugar
- 2 oranges (juice)
- 1 cinnamon stick

Rub the quinces with a cloth. Rubbing the fruit removes the fuzz, which contains bitter compounds. Then wash them. Cut the quinces in half, remove the cores and then cut them into small pieces. The fruit can be peeled, but this is not essential.


Bring the pieces of quince to the boil in the water (2.5 l) and cook until soft. Once the pieces can be easily mashed, they are cooked. Blend with a hand blender to make a quince purée.

Mix the quince purée, orange juice, cinnamon stick and sugar with a little water, and bring to the boil, stirring constantly, until the jam takes on a thick consistency. Pour the quince jam into clean preserving jars and seal them immediately.
