Culinary Etude 08.10.2018

The brewing season is drawing to a close. Its finale is marked by the preparation of a triumphant delicacy, amazing in taste and aroma. It is made from quince, a fruit that is almost impossible to eat fresh. But it is necessary to cook it, and a miracle happens. Let's make quince jam today.

Irina Rybchanskaya, the permanent host of our delicious column, brought us her proven recipes for making quince jam at home. The story will be continued by Irina.

Hello, dear readers of Irochka Zaitseva's blog! In the courtyard of the house where I was born, a very old quince grew. Its knotted branches resembled the hands of an old grandmother. From year to year, she gave us a generous harvest of fragrant, stone-hard fruits.

First, hairy, bizarrely shaped fruits were put in small boxes in one layer so that they “reached” the desired condition. When my grandmother decided that they were yellow and ripe enough, the actual process of making jam began.

I'll start with that grandmother's recipe. And she got it from her neighbors - Armenians, who cooked quince in this way back in their homeland, in Kars. The process takes quite a long time, but there is not so much active cooking time. But the jam turns out fabulous! Do not be too lazy to cook it while there is quince in the markets. You will be rewarded a hundredfold for your patience and diligence.

Quince jam with slices - the most delicious recipe

For the preparation of such a jam, hard quince, which grows in the Caucasus, in Uzbekistan, is best suited. It is much more fragrant and tastier than softer Turkish. And do not be afraid of its primordial rigidity. In the jam, the quince slices will become softer, slightly elastic, completely pliable for the teeth and very tasty.

Jam according to this recipe in our family is called “soft”. In contrast to the "solid", the recipe of which I will give below.

Ingredients

  • Three kilos of quince;
  • three kilograms of granulated sugar;
  • 2.5 liters of water.

How to cook

  1. We sort out the fruits, wash them, cut them in half, remove the hard centers with seeds.
  2. Cut into thin slices.
  3. Boil water in a large saucepan, throw the pieces into it.
  4. After 2-3 minutes, quickly take out the pieces, put them on large trays, cool.
  5. Put granulated sugar into boiling water, stir. Cook over low heat for about an hour and a half.
  6. We put chilled fruits in another spacious container, pour syrup over it.
  7. Cook at a not too violent boil for ten minutes. We turn off the fire.
  8. We quietly go about our business for the next ten to twelve hours.
  9. Reheat after standing, boil for ten minutes and again leave to "rest".
  10. For the third time, boil for five to ten minutes, put it in sterile jars, roll it up, send it to storage.
  11. This is how the finished quince jam looks like slices.

My remarks

  1. Take my word for it: this quince jam recipe is truly the most delicious. Here is a delicious syrup that looks like jelly and tasty, incredibly tasty slices!
  2. Be sure to lay out the quince petals after cooking on trays, otherwise they will be overcooked. Act quickly, all inventory must be prepared in advance.

Ingredients

Wipe fluff from quince, wash, cut, remove the middle with seeds.

Cut into fairly large pieces, about one and a half centimeters thick.

Put the prepared pieces in a spacious container, pour half the sugar according to the recipe. Leave it like this until the fruit releases its juice. Mix after the appearance of juice.

After about a day, add the remaining sugar, wait for the juice to separate, stir. Leave for another twenty-four hours.

The decisive moment has come - the beginning of the cooking process. We put the container on the fire, wait for the boil, reduce the flame to a minimum. Cook on a quiet flame - the surface of the jam should only move slightly and be covered with tiny bubbles.

After an hour, we do a test on the ball. If it does not spread on a cold surface, then it is time to stop cooking jam. Pictured is the finished jam.

Quince jam with walnuts - recipe

I really love the combination of jam with any nuts. most often I cook with the kernels of the seeds of the apricots themselves or with almonds. And quince - with hazelnuts and walnuts.

Our hazelnut harvest is still too small due to the youth of the bushes. On the other hand, we collect several large bags of our walnuts every year.

Ingredients

  • Quince;
  • sugar;
  • water;
  • walnuts.

How to cook

  1. The amount of ingredients will vary from person to person. You just need to keep the proportions. To begin with, let's prepare the quince in the usual way - wash, cut, remove the seeds, cut into pieces or small petals.
  2. Let's prepare the walnuts. For a kilogram of fruit, take from 100 to 300 grams of nuts. They need to be dried in a pan. Then rub in your palms to remove the skin.
  3. Fill the fruits with water. It shouldn't even cover the pieces. Cook for two - three minutes, take out the quince on a tray.
  4. We measure the amount of water. We put sugar in it in a ratio of 1 to 1.5 (by weight). For one kilogram of water - one and a half kilograms of sugar. We boil the syrup, put quince and nuts in it. We stop heating after five minutes of boiling.
  5. We are waiting for our future jam to cool completely. Repeat heating and boiling for five minutes. We make three such "visits".
  6. After the last cooking, we pack the jam in sterile jars and close the lids. I think that it is no longer necessary to remind that jars and lids are always sterilized with us.

Ripe quince jam is self-sufficient and does not require additional flavors or taste regulators. If for some reason you have to process a not quite ripe quince, then it is best to boil it with lemon and ginger.

With these additives, green quince jam acquires a special piquancy and expressive taste.

Ingredients

  • A kilogram of quince;
  • one medium lemon;
  • a small plump ginger root, the size of a little finger;
  • 1.2 kg of sugar;
  • 300 ml of water.

How to do

  1. Washed, freed from seed pods, quince cut into arbitrary thick slices.
  2. Blanch for five minutes in water, cool in cold water.
  3. Wash the lemon in hot water with soda, wipe it, twist it in a meat grinder along with the skin.
  4. My ginger, peel, rub on a medium grater.
  5. We measure out 300 ml of water in which the slices were blanched, pour sugar into it, cook the syrup.
  6. Immerse fruit, twisted lemon, grated ginger into it.
  7. We heat it on a medium flame, boil for five minutes, let it rest for half a day.

Why do I like quince jam with slices? Fragrant, tasty, transparent, has a beautiful amber color, and fruit pieces perfectly retain their shape in syrup. They turn out a little harsh, but this does not spoil them at all, on the contrary, it makes them look like candied fruits. There are several ways to prepare quince jam with slices. All of them are quite long, but not difficult. The result will invariably please - pieces of quince jam can be eaten with hot tea, instead of sweets, and syrup can be poured over ice cream or any other dessert. For example,

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of quince;
  • 1 kg of sugar;
  • 300 ml of water.

Cooking

First prepare the required ingredients. Only ripe fresh fruits of good quality, without dents, rot and wormholes, are suitable for making jam in slices. Try to choose the best fruits for processing so that the jam turns out beautiful and tasty.

Rinse the quince thoroughly with cold running water and cut it into 4-5 parts, remove the seed boxes, and cut off the skin - it will no longer be useful. Now cut the slices into even thinner ones, up to 1 cm thick. Pour the chopped quince with the right amount of water so that it completely covers the fruit. Put the saucepan on the fire and bring its contents to a boil, then reduce the heat. Boil quince over low heat for no more than half an hour - pieces of fruit should reach half readiness and in no case be overcooked.

Now pour the water in which the quince was boiled into another container. Pour the indicated amount of sugar there and continue to boil the syrup, only until there are no fruits. After the syrup boils, reduce the heat and reduce it until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then this syrup should be poured over pieces of quince and brought to a boil, boil for 10 minutes, then boil for another 45 minutes over low heat, stirring every 7-10 minutes. At this stage, it is especially important to protect the quince slices from boiling. It is done like this: reduce the heat to a minimum, stir only with a wooden spoon or spatula, if the boil becomes too strong, stop cooking for 20-30 minutes. Once the jam has cooled slightly, continue.

Check the readiness of the syrup in the traditional way - put a few drops on the saucer. If the syrup does not lose its shape and begins to solidify, you can turn off the fire. Carefully place the quince jam in jars and close with clean lids. Banks do not need to be sterilized before filling, just wash them and scald them with boiling water. Also process the lids. It is convenient to close quince jam with slices in small jars with screw caps.

Step by step recipe with photo and video

The process of making jam is extremely simple and involves alternating short-term cooking of quince in sugar syrup, with a cooling period that must be repeated three times. Such a simple approach to making jam gives a very appetizing result, without causing much trouble in the kitchen.

Ready quince jam turns out to be moderately thick, viscous and very appetizing both in appearance and in taste. Try it!

To make quince jam, you will need the ingredients listed in the list.

Remove fluff from the surface of the fruit by carefully wiping the quince with a dry towel. Peel the fruit from the peel and seed pods.

Cut the peeled quince into slices and place in cold water, in which first add the juice of half a lemon or 0.5-1 tsp. citric acid - so that the quince does not darken.

Boil 1.2 liters of water, add quince peel and seed pods (not wormy). Bring the water to a boil and simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes.

Strain the resulting broth, add sugar to it and bring the mixture to a boil again, stirring occasionally so that the sugar is completely dissolved.

When the broth boils again, add quince slices. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook the quince for 10 minutes over medium heat.

Then turn off the heat and cool the mixture completely.

Then boil the quince slices again for 10 minutes and cool completely again.

For the third time, bring the jam to a boil and cook over low heat for 15-30 minutes, until the desired density. During the cooking process, do not stir the jam in order not to violate the integrity of the slices, and, if necessary, remove the resulting foam.

Wash the jam jars thoroughly with soda and sterilize in any convenient way. I will stir the jars in a cold oven and heat at a temperature of 90-100 degrees for 15 minutes.

Place metal canning lids in cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes.

Place hot jam in sterilized jars.

Close the jars with prepared lids, roll up, turn over, cover with a warm blanket (so that the jam cools slowly) and leave to cool completely.

Quince jam is ready. From the indicated number of components, approximately 0.9-1 liter of jam is obtained (depending on the duration of cooking).

Quince is a fragrant fruit that belongs to the genus of woody plants. The composition of the fruit includes many vitamins, minerals, organic acids and pectins, which indicates its extreme usefulness for the body. Due to the astringent taste, the fruit is rarely consumed fresh, so it is better to make jam from it. There are many different recipes for the most delicious quince jam.

The composition and benefits of quince

Quince is called the "golden fruit" not only for the bright yellow color of the peel, but also for its beneficial properties. After all, it is not in vain that it has been grown for more than 4 thousand years. Asia is the birthplace of culture, but over time it has spread to almost all over the world.

There are many useful substances in the fruit, among which the most valuable is pectin, which is contained in large quantities. The substance helps to cleanse the body of harmful toxins, which makes quince useful for people working in hazardous industries. In addition, pectin is a natural thickener, this is especially noticeable in quince jam. It turns out jelly-like, and the pieces of fruit in it look like marmalade. It is worth noting that "marmalade" has in its composition the roots of the Galician word marmelo - "quince".

Fruits are a storehouse of useful acids, vitamins and minerals. In large quantities, they contain vitamins A, C and group B, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus. As well as tartronic acid, which promotes the absorption of fats, which is important for those who monitor weight. Copper and iron are presented in an easily digestible form. This results in an increase in hemoglobin levels in the blood.

Quince peel contains essential oils, which are the strongest natural antioxidants. Therefore, even its aroma can improve mood.
