Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 1 kg quince(s)
  • 500 g sugar
  • 2 lemons
  • 2 packs of grated lemon peel
  • 1 ½ liters of schnapps (Doppelkorn)

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Wipe the quinces dry with a cloth to remove any fuzz. Wash the quinces and coarsely grate them, including the peel. Place the grated quince in a large, sealable jar (at least 3 liters) and add the sugar, lemon juice (100 ml from the two lemons), flavoring, and Doppelkorn. Close the jar tightly and shake vigorously to mix. Place the jar in a warm, sunny spot for 4 weeks, shaking occasionally. Then strain the liquid through a sieve and squeeze the quinces lightly with a spoon. The liqueur must now rest, tightly sealed, in a cool, dark place for another 6 weeks. Fine particles will settle to the bottom. Pour the liqueur through a fine-mesh cloth and bottle into prepared bottles.
