Indulge in the rich and luxurious flavors of quince and honey marmalade. The floral notes of quinces blend harmoniously with the sweetness of honey, creating a delightful spread perfect for toast, scones, or baked goods.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds quince, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen honey
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the quince: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the quince slices and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the quince is very soft and can be easily mashed, about 1 hour.
  • Mash the quince: Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the quince until smooth.
  • Add the honey and lemon juice: Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the marmalade has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Test the doneness: To check if the marmalade is done, place a small amount on a chilled plate. Let it cool for a minute, then push your finger across the surface. If the surface wrinkles, the marmalade is ready.
  • Store the marmalade: Let the marmalade cool slightly before pouring it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • This marmalade is perfect on toast, scones, or stirred into yogurt.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
  • Ensure you sterilize your jars properly to keep the marmalade fresh for longer.
