For everyone who has an abundance of quince in their yard, try this excellent recipe for quince liqueur. I make it every year and give it as gifts for Christmas. It usually makes about 6 small bottles.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe quinces
- 2 organics lemons
- 1.5 quartss vodka
- 1 pound white sugar
Instructions
-
1
Rub quince with a kitchen towel really well until skin is smooth. Cut unpeeled quince into small cubes.
-
2
Peel lemon zest into spirals with a thin peeler. Squeeze lemons and measure 3/4 cup lemon juice.
-
3
Combine quince, lemon zest, lemon juice, vodka, and sugar in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid. All ingredients need to be completely covered with liquid. Keep in a warm place or on a sunny window sill for 4 weeks, shaking occasionally.

4
Line a sieve with a damp cheesecloth and strain liquid. Use a wooden spoon to press as much liquid out of quince pieces as possible. Pour strained quince liqueur into sterilized bottles and seal. For best results, allow to mature for 6 weeks in a cool place.

Peach Crumble Cake
This peach crumble cake is a go-to recipe for me. It's very quick and easy to make, and most people have the ingredients in their pantries already. The more brown sugar you use on top, the more "crumble" you will have. It's great for summer cookouts served with ice cream.
