quince jelly
Pectin-rich preserve
Quince jelly is a preserve made from the fruit of the quince tree, cooked with sugar until it sets.
The quince's high pectin content makes it ideal for jellies.
Raw quinces are hard and astringent, but cooking transforms them into something fragrant and sweet, often turning the jelly a deep rose or amber color.
