Quittengelee selber machen

Hello and welcome, I have quinces in my garden because I really like them. They have a wonderful aroma but they are not easy to process because they are very hard and need to be processed before consumption. In this video, I want to show you how to make quince jelly in an easy way and with simple tools.

I love quinces and that’s why I planted a quince tree in my garden four years ago. This year, the tree finally produced an abundant harvest, as you can see. I want to show you how to turn quinces into quince jelly because it is the best way to enjoy their flavor. You can also make quince jam, liquor or fruit leather, but we will focus on quince jelly today.

Quinces are similar to apples and pears, but they are very hard and cannot be consumed raw. Most species of quinces need to be processed before consumption. There are a few varieties that can be eaten raw, but they are not as flavorful as cooked quinces. Quinces are best suited for making jelly or fruit sauce. To prepare them, you need to remove their fluff by rubbing them with a cloth under running water. You can also use a vegetable brush to remove the fluff from the skin.

To make quince jelly, you need quinces, lemon juice, water and gelatin or sugar. If you have a lot of quinces, you can use a steam juicer to extract the juice. If you don’t have a steam juicer, you can use a centrifugal press but be careful not to let the quinces brown. You can also use a simple pot to cook the quinces and then squeeze them to extract the juice.

Once you have extracted the quince juice, add lemon juice and gelatin or sugar to it. Boil the mixture for four minutes while constantly stirring, and then take a heavy sample of the jelly to see if it sets. To make the quince jelly, I used 750 milliliters of quince juice and 500 grams of sugar, the ratio is two to one.

Quinces have a lot of natural pectin, which makes the jelly-making process much faster. The jelly sets quickly when gelatin or sugar is added. The jelly is delicious and can be consumed in many ways. You can use it as a topping on bread, cakes and pancakes, or you can have it with cheese or meat.

Making quince jelly is not difficult, but the process can be time-consuming. If you have quinces in your garden or can buy them at a local market, it is worth trying to make quince jelly. The flavor and aroma of quince jelly are unique and it is a great way to enjoy this wonderful fruit.

In conclusion, quinces are a delicious fruit that requires some effort to process. However, the effort is worth it as you can make unique and delicious products such as quince jelly, jam or fruit leather. If you have a quince tree in your garden or can buy quinces at a local market, I encourage you to try making quince jelly. It is easy, healthy and delicious!
