Ingredients
1 pound (500g) quince fruits (about 3-4 fruits)
1 pound (500g) granulated sugar
3-4 geranium leaves
3 whole cloves
1 and 1/2 cups water
Juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
whole almonds
Instructions
Peel the quince fruits and quarter them. Remove the seeds and chop the fruit. (see video)
Place the fruit in a pot along with the sugar, lemon juice, cloves, and geranium leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Once a steady simmer is reached loosely cover the pot with the lid. Keep a close eye on it so that the syrup does not boil over.
Cook the mixture for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and discard the geranium leaves and the cloves. Cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. In the meantime, place a small plate in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Place a tablespoon of the fruit preserves on the cold plate and let it stand for 5 minutes. If the syrup thickens it is ready. If it is still runny, cook it for an additional 5 minutes. (See Video for consistency)
Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Mix together and set aside to cool.
Place the almonds in a bowl and pour enough boiling hot water over them to cover. Once the water cools to room temperature, remove the skin from the almonds and place them on a baking pan. Toast them in the oven at 350 °F, 180 °C for 7-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Add the toasted blanched almonds to the preserves and mix together.
Transfer the preserves to jars and refrigerate or can them and store at room temperature.
Serve with Greek coffee. Kali Orexi!
