Instructions
- Peel, core, and quarter the Quince. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Drain the Quince and place them back into the pot. Prepare the Sugar Syrup by combining Sugar, Water, and Lemon juice in a separate saucepan. Add the Cinnamon Stick, Cloves, and Vanilla Bean (both pod and seeds). Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the syrup over the Quince, ensuring they are fully submerged. Bring to a very gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting and simmer gently for 2-2.5 hours, or until the Quince are translucent and the syrup has thickened. Stir occasionally, being careful not to break up the Quince.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely in the syrup. Remove the Cinnamon Stick and Vanilla Bean. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal.
