Quinces: What You Can Do With The Healthy Fruit

Quinces: what you can do with the healthy fruit

You can process either apple quince or pear quince, and a combination of the two varieties is also possible. So that you get delicious results, we present the best processing tips below:

• Juice: Delicious and cold quince juice are very popular, especially in summer. The quick processing is another plus point. For the juice, you only need pear quince, apple quince, or both types. First, depilate the quince, then chop the fruit and boil in hot water. Once you’ve added some sugar, you can bottle the filtered juice.
• Compote: Instead of juice, you can also make a compote from the quinces. This has a slightly longer shelf life and is therefore also well suited for storage. This means that you can still enjoy the quinces long after the actual harvest time. You can also mix the apple quince and pear quince with the compote.
• Jelly: Quinces are also very suitable as a spread in the form of jelly. Since the jelly is also filled into mason jars, you can also store it longer. The jelly is not only well suited as a spread, you can also use it very well as a delicious refinement of crispbread, for example.
• Jam: Unlike jelly, jam is a bit softer and therefore also a good spread. You get a particularly tasty jam if you process the quinces with other fruits to make jam. You can use oranges or strawberries for this. What you choose depends on your taste.
• Schnapps: If you want to serve your own schnapps to your guests for the next garden party, you can also use homemade quince schnapps. The schnapps has a delicious taste and, depending on the type of schnapps used during production, then also have a higher percentage of alcohol.
