This quince jelly is an old family recipe. Quince is a fruit related to apples and pears — it has a bright flavor but is quite tart. This jelly is the perfect way to use quince fruit.

  • 7.5 cups sugar
  • 3 fluids ounces liquid pectin
  • 4.5 cups water
  • 3 pounds quinces , cored and chopped, peels on

    Sterilize eight ½-pint jars in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, and have new lids ready.
