Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Quinces
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Liquid pectin
Instructions
Wash the quinces thoroughly to remove any fuzz. Peel and core them, then chop them into small cubes.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the chopped quinces and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the quinces are soft and tender.
Once the quinces are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash them into a smooth consistency.
Add the lemon juice and powdered erythritol to the quince mixture, stirring until well blended.
Bring the mixture back to a simmer over medium heat. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for another 20 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken.
Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid pectin, mixing well to ensure it is fully incorporated.
Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the jam has reached your desired consistency.
Remove the jam from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Carefully transfer the quince jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars with lids.
Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator and consume within 3 weeks for the best flavor.
