So today we'll talk about how to make quince jam at home, in slices. Such a question, for sure, arose among housewives who were puzzled by the large harvest of these fruits or lovers of culinary experiments. It should be said that quince jam is a fragrant delicacy with an excellent taste, in addition, it has a beautiful amber color.
Raw quince can be quite harsh, which requires heat treatment of this fruit together with granulated sugar, as a result we get aromatic jam, but before you learn in detail how to cook it, it is worth saying a few words about the benefits of this fruit.
Quince fruits are rich in pectin, this substance is a kind of body cleaner, as it binds toxic substances. In addition, this fruit helps to improve the digestive process, strengthens the stomach, and also lowers cholesterol. Japanese researchers use this fruit even in the fight against peptic ulcer disease, and also recommend using it to normalize weight, that is, obesity.
Quince contains quite a lot of antioxidants that help to prolong the body's youthfulness, and also help fight stressful situations. In addition, it contains potassium and other useful components. But back to making jam slices.
Quince jam recipe with slices
To cook quince jam at home, you will need the following components:
Fresh quince - 1 kilogram;
Water;
Granulated sugar - 1 kilogram
Citric acid - a pinch, optional.
It is necessary to prepare a container where the quince delicacy will be prepared; for this you can use an enamel pan or a deep bowl. A kilogram of prepared fruit for jam should be washed well and wiped dry with a towel.
Then you need to cut the quince into four parts with a sharp knife and remove the core with the seeds, it is worth noting that you will have to cut it with some effort, since the fruits are usually quite tough. Then we cut each quarter into three or five equal slices so that they do not exceed five, seven millimeters.
We put the elongated sliced quince slices into a prepared container and fill it with water so that the entire quince is covered. We put the container on the stove and quickly bring it to a boil, after which we reduce the heat and continue to cook the fruit over minimum heat for fifteen minutes, after such heat treatment it will be quite soft.
After 15 minutes, it is recommended to use a slotted spoon to get the quince slices into another container, and leave the broth, it will still be required. Then pour a kilogram of granulated sugar into another container and add 200 milliliters of broth, then turn on the fire on the stove and cook the syrup, stirring it. After a while, the sugar will begin to melt and dissolve.
The readiness of the syrup is checked as follows: a drop of syrup is applied to the plate, while it should not spread, but remain in the form of the so-called hemisphere, which will indicate its preparation.
Next, put boiled quince in the finished syrup, gently stir so as not to break the slices, then bring our aromatic jam to a boil, and then reduce the heat on the gas stove and cook the delicacy for forty minutes, stirring with a wooden spatula with a long handle to prevent burning quince jam.
In the course of a forty-minute boil, a foam will certainly form on the jam, which is recommended to be carefully removed if you plan to store the delicacy for a long time. It is more convenient to remove it with a long spoon, while you should not throw it away, just place it in a container, and then you can use it.
After forty minutes, the jam should acquire a beautiful honey-amber color, of course, if it does not undergo burning, in this case the delicacy will acquire a brown tint, and will also lose its aromatic original qualities, respectively, it is recommended to carefully monitor so that the quince delicacy does not burn.
About five minutes before the end of cooking the jam, if desired, you can use a little citric acid, literally a pinch, which will give a pleasant sourness to this sweet delicacy.
Before turning off the stove, it is important to check the readiness of the quince jam, as described earlier in the preparation of the syrup. If the delicacy is ready, it is necessary to place it in glass jars, which are important to sterilize, this can be done by washing the container with baking soda, then they are calcined in the oven, or heated over steam.
There is no need to roll up the cans, you can use screw caps, while it is important to pay attention that they are not rusted from the inside, it is better to purchase new ones. Then the cans are closed and turned upside down. After that, it is recommended to cover the containers with a warm blanket and let them cool overnight.
The next day, the banks can be put away for storage, of course, it is better to place them in cool conditions, if it is a city apartment, then you will have to use the refrigerator or take them out to the loggia while there is no frost. In addition, you can take them to a vegetable pit or to a cellar in the country.

The first time the jam is cooked for 5 minutes, then you need to wait until it has completely cooled down - about 6 hours. Then it must be boiled again for 5 minutes, then cooled. And this should be done 3-4 times.
If the fruit variety is sour, then you do not need to add anything to the jam. If the quince is sweet, then you can add lemon juice to taste.
