Ingredients

• 2 pounds ripe quinces
• 2 organics lemons
• 1.5 quartss vodka
• 1 pound white sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Rub quince with a kitchen towel really well until skin is smooth. Cut unpeeled quince into small cubes.

   Peel lemon zest into spirals with a thin peeler. Squeeze lemons and measure 3/4 cup lemon juice.

3. 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. 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.
