How to Make Quince Ginger Marmalade Jam

  1. Combine 1kg peeled, cored, and chopped quince, 800g granulated sugar, and 200ml water in a large saucepan.
  2. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the quince is completely softened and the mixture thickens (approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the quince).
  4. Force the cooked quince mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing to extract as much pulp as possible. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger (adjust to taste).
  5. Bring the sieved mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. It's ready when a small spoonful dropped onto a chilled plate sets slightly and wrinkles on the surface.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon rose water (optional).
  7. Carefully pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal immediately and allow to cool completely.
  8. For longer storage, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
