Let's dive into the process of making quince jam together!

This recipe starts with preparing the quince by cutting it into small cubes, either leaving the skin on or peeling it as you prefer. To prevent discoloration, add a bit of lemon juice. Then, place the chopped quince in a pot (preferably an enamel one), and add water and sugar. cover the pot and heat it until the mixture comes to a boil. When it reaches a boil, add a cinnamon stick, and reduce the heat. Allow the jam to simmer gently for about one to one and a half hours, keeping the lid on. Meanwhile, soak the dried limes in warm water for an hour to soften them. When the syrup has reached a thick consistency, add the limes and let them cook together for an extra 30 minutes.

When the syrup of the jam reaches your preferred thickness and color, remove it from the heat and let it cool. To ensure that your jam has the proper consistency, you can test it by adding a small drop of syrup to a glass of cold water before you turn off the heat. If the syrup settles at the bottom without dispersing, it means it has the right thickness. Lastly, transfer the quince jam into your chosen glass jars and put the lids on tightly.
