Step-by-step recipe for cooking with a photo of quince jam
1. First of all, let's prepare the main component - quince. Thoroughly rinse it under running water: the quince is covered with fluff, which you need to get rid of. Use a soft sponge or toothbrush. We randomly cut the fruit, cut out the core, put it in a saucepan. Quince is a very dry fruit, so add some water.
2. Put the quince saucepan on the fire and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until it becomes soft.
3. Using a hand blender, puree the soft quince.
4. Add sugar in the proportions indicated in the recipe and mix.
5. Put quince puree with sugar on the fire and, stirring constantly, boil for about 30 minutes. Be sure to make sure that the jam does not burn.
6. After half an hour, the quince jam is ready. We lay it out in sterile jars, seal it, wrap it until it cools completely.
You can choose any process for sterilizing cans. Traditionally, housewives sterilized jars by heating them well over steam, but there are alternative methods. For example, you can put the jars in a large container of water and boil. You can also use a microwave oven: put the washed cans inside and turn on the oven at the highest power for 3 minutes; the water will evaporate during this time and the banks will warm up well. You can also use the oven for sterilization (this is my favorite method: we sterilize many jars at the same time). To do this, we put the washed, wet cans in a cold oven and heat them for 5-10 minutes at a temperature of 50 ?, after which we increase it to 180 ?. 10-15 minutes - and the jars are sterile.
7. Quince jam, the recipe for which turned out to be really simple, is ready! Under a hermetically sealed lid, it will stand until spring. But I advise you to put some of it in the refrigerator to pamper yourself and your loved ones over morning tea.
