Description

This quince confection is a wonderful way to capture the flavors of autumn. I make it every year when the quinces are ripe. The preparation is a bit time-consuming, but the result is worth it! The slightly sour note of the quinces harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar and the warm aroma of the cinnamon. It tastes particularly delicious on fresh bread or as a side dish to cheese. In Portugal, it is traditionally cooked until it is firm to the cut - a real confection!

Check consistency and let cool

After cooking, do a setting test: Place a small spoonful of the jam on a cold plate. If the jam sets, it is ready. If not, cook for another 5-10 minutes and check again. Pour the finished jam into a baking dish or similar and let it cool completely. It should be firm to the cut.
