Tip

New quinces that have greenish tinges on the skin will provide improved pectin set if proceeding to make jelly.

Poaching liquid can be flavoured with honey (sugar substitution), cloves or vanilla if desired. 

Pack quince pieces in tightly as they will shrink down during cooking.

Quinces are cooked after first 20 minutes but will not have the typical colour or density of aroma that will be gained from the additional cooking time and temperature. 

Size of quince pieces will influence cooking time as will amount of pectin in fruit.

To make jelly retain all cores, pips and peelings. 3 – 4 quinces will yield approximately 500g of core, pips and peel. See my Quince Jelly Recipe for detail.

Can place pips in the bottom of the TM bowl whilst poaching fruit to begin jelly process.

Cost approx $6

    letstryit: Thanks John, appreciate your Comments.🙏

    If you've a TM6 with Blade Cover you might like to try my other method out (before quinces disappear for the season?) as an alternative - it uses Slow Cook Mode for 4-5 hrs. Just Search "Poached Quinces TM6" or click my User Name and the list will pop up for you. 😉Happy Cooking

    I addded an extra 15 minutes varoma time. It didn't need extra water for me.
    The poached quince slices were very delicious served chilled with thicken cream and a sprinkle or ground cinnamon.
    Thanks for sharing the recipe Sharon.

    It's finally getting chilly and this was just the thing tonight. I had a couple of quinces left that mum gave me, so chopped them up, added some quartered pairs to make up the weight and proceeded from there. Served it up with the standard custard recipe from TBC and it was perfect. Hit the spot.
    Thanks for posting this.
