Preparation
Step 1
Wash and dry each quince. Working around the core, grate the quince flesh, including the peel, with a cheese grater.
Step 2
Pour 2 cups of water in a thick bottomed pan and bring to a boil. Add the grated quince, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the mixture becomes soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sugar, stir and bring up to a boil over high heat. Continue stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved, then lower the heat to medium. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the jam turns pink and reaches the desired consistency, 60-75 minutes. If the jam dries out, add a 1/4 cup of water at a time.
Step 4
Pour the jam into a sterilized jar and cool completely before serving.
