It's so interesting that the jelly turns red even though the fruit is green/white! I've heard of quince online but I don't remember ever seeing them sold here in Virginia.

Isn’t it fascinating? I will have to look deeper into why it turns red like that. I have seen them for sale here (Nor Cal) in the autumn at the farmers market and in a local grocery store, but as far as I know, they aren’t widely commercially grown, which is probably why they’re more rare to encounter.

Tried one raw once. Hard as chewing wood (I suspect that Balsa Wood would be more tender), tasted like aspirin. I had to keep the fresh slices under water to keep them from turning brown.

So cute! I'm going to try making jams to gift this Christmas season for the first time 😊

[@HappyHobbit]

That sounds like a wonderful idea!

[@jeniferdise4816]

You guys made my day. 😊 Do you think the frozen quince was easier to process because freezing broke up the cells? Your jars of jelly and paste look amazing!

[@HappyHobbit]

That’s what I was wondering, too! That and the lack of peel are the only variables, but I think your theory makes the most sense!

[@Stoffmonster467]

Freezing or cooking them in a pressure pot makes it easier - or just going to the fruit mill to get juice. This is what I do.
