Quince Jam (Grated)
Hello Dear Friends,
One of my favorite things about winter is that we can consume lots of quince, but I don't know why, even if I ate 1-2 slices lately, it started to bother me. As such, the quinces I bought remained in the refrigerator.
Earlier Quince jam I even prepared it, and while I was cooking, I remembered my late grandmother a lot. It wouldn't be a lie if I say that I made the remaining 3 quinces to commemorate the past. After sorting and cleaning the remaining quince, I decided to weigh it. I think that way you will not get confused.
Then I weighed the grated quince and used the same weight, that is, one-to-one sugar. The result was beautiful. Since the quinces were grated, it took less time to cook and get the consistency of jam.
Instead of gaining weight and spending 1 winter with 1 jam, I'm in favor of making jams from less but different fruits. There is no point in dragging it in the cupboard for a long time since we only sit and set the breakfast table on weekends. There is enough jam to fill a medium-sized jar.
You can try this jam to use your remaining quince or to use it in your cakes and cookies. So, 1-2 recipes with quince jam are waiting for you soon :)
I have also prepared and loved quince jelly You can try my recipe as an alternative.
Love…

when do we open the jar?
In the recipe, sugar measure is 550gr and 4 glasses of water are given. 1 cup takes 200gr of sugar. If we do not measure, we may have put 800gr of sugar.
That's why you should always weigh in. It means that the glass I measure takes 125 grams of granulated sugar.
1 glass of 200 gr. It takes not 200 ml of sugar. this amount of water is 200 gr. but sugar comes lighter. The same volume of sugar is lighter than water.
I followed the recipe exactly, but the jam was too sugary. I didn't know how to save. can you help me?
I think you boiled more than necessary or your quinces did not leave much water. If you add water to it and try to boil it again, it can become sugary, so I recommend that you consume it in this way in a short time without putting it in the refrigerator.
Quince seeds, one or two pieces of peeled skin and 3-4 cloves are indispensable for quince jam. It's a little too plain quince jam. Health to your hands.
It looks easy, I'll try. My mother also put quince seeds in it, it becomes more viscous.
