Need recipe for quince jam made in food processor june?

not quince paste.this is and old recipe hoping some one can help " desperate"

Need recipe for quince jam made in food processor june?
1.) Wash fruit, remove stems and chop into pieces.





Remove seeds, label them and save them to trade. Or if the seeds are surrounded by pectin, you can put them in a small cheesecloth/muslin bag, tie tightly and put in with the fruit while cooking to get the pectin out.2.) Put chopped quince pieces in water with a couple drops of lemon juice (lemon not necessary when using Japonica quince or greenish fruit).





3.) Add or subtract water so that water covers fruit.





4.) Put into slow cooker or on very low heat, cover and cook for 6-12 hours.5.) Pour cooked fruit into cotton flannel jelly bag or 4 layers of cheesecloth - muslin secured to top of large bowl with clothes pins/pegs. (A clean, boiled pillow case hung from the ceiling will do.)6.) Drain for several hours or overnight.





(If you squeeze the bag you will get more jelly/jam; if you don't squeeze you will get a prettier, clear jam. Your call.)7.) Pour liquid into a measuring jug, make a note of the amount. Pour sugar into the measuring jug up to about 2/3 of the line where the liquid had been (4 cups quince juice to 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar.)








8.) Pour liquid and sugar into saucepan and stir in.[Optional. Add lemon juice. Advantage: makes the jelly set easier. Disadvantage: tastes like lemon juice. Again, it's your call. How much? About a teaspoon per liter or quart. Me? I make it without the lemon juice and if it doesn't set, I add lemon juice and boil again, but I almost always have some Japonica or green fruit in the mix so it usually sets without lemon juice. You are less likely to need lemon juice if you are using Japonica or greenish quince, or if you add apples to the original chopped fruit. )]9.) Bring to boil and boil for about 5-15 minutes. (Have a ceramic plate in the freezer; as jelly boils, put a drop of the liquid on the frozen plate to see if it sets, or use the temperature test.Temperature Test: Take the temperature of the jelly with a candy or jelly thermometer. Should be 220°F, 8°F above the boiling point of water, if you are at sea level. For each 500 feet of altitude above sea level, subtract 1 degree F.)


Testing Jelly without Added Pectin





10.) Pour into clear glass jars to store on shelf, or plastic containers to store in freezer.
Reply:Sorry, I only have one made by boiling, with sugar and lemon juice. Wish I could have helped though!


Can I grow a Quince tree together intertwined with a Magnolia and expect them both to thrive?

I wouldn't, as your objective is to get them both to 'thrive'.





They are both deciduous and need to make best use of the available light during summer. Lower light levels will potentially cause them to become weaker and probably flower less, which would be a pity as they are both beautiful trees/shrubs.





You don't mention which magnolia variety you're thinking of - some of them can grow very tall and would dwarf the Quince.





If you want them to complement each other, try planting them nearby, avoiding the taller Magnolia shading the Quince too much. You could consider some evergreen plant(s) which would add winter interest too. Remember, these plants can live for decades and their root systems will expand, alongside their above ground growth -greater competition for nutrients and water too.





Good luck! Rob

Can I grow a Quince tree together intertwined with a Magnolia and expect them both to thrive?
I think it would be lovely to have the colors intertwined.


Trees grow like that in the wild so I think it would be okay. You could always call your local nursery and ask them.
Reply:hard to predict.i planted an oak and a pine,and twisted them togeather as they grew.the oak did choke out the pine,but you should see the oak.yours would make a good combo. just dont twist them try to inter mingle them.
Reply:well, they may look nice like that but they will never thrive as well as they would if they were growing apart. if they're entwined they will compete with each other for light and nutrients and their leaves may even block out light for their partner. closely growing branches will rub against one another, which may eventually kill the branch and you could end up with a lot of dead wood which would be rather unattractive.





sorry to sound gloomy about this: by all means try it but don't expect your trees to live as long or grow as strongly.


Can you grow a Quince bush from a cutting?

Yes I did it years ago

Can you grow a Quince bush from a cutting?
Yep.
Reply:yes you can.


Basically you need to take a cutting in late autumn.


The excellent BBC site explains it all and you can bookmark it for Autumn





http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/te...





Good luck.
Reply:Yes, I have three in the back garden from my fathers tree.
Reply:Yes but with hardwood its MUCH more difficult. Plants vary on timing. But The best time to take hardwood cutting is when they are dormant. Stems should be a little bit thicker than a pencil but not as long. Rooting hormone (avail at most garden shops) should be applied to the bottom of the cutting. Small vertical cuts should be made on the bottom part of the cutting where the hormone is to be applied. This will allow the cutting more places to grow roots from. Then once the cutting are placed in the rooting medium (vermiculite or other) the best method is to keep the tops cool and humid while applying heat to the bottom to activate growth. The heat isn't necessary but greatly increases your chance for success. So will taking several cuttings.

Do you know what quince is and how to prepare? Where can I buy it?

Do you know what quince is and how to prepare? Where can I buy it?
u mean quiche right,


check cooks.com they have many easy and quick recipes
Reply:itsa fruit and u can only use it for jelly or jam.can't buy it anywhere i know of
Reply:Quince is an apple type fruit, that is used mainly up here in New England. You don't see them growing here much anymore. On the tree they stay rock hard well into the fall. Old settlers used them for mostly jelly and a few pies. They where popular as you could store them all winter. The big draw back was you had to use alot of sugar to make them edible. As for buying some no idea. I saw one cut down about 5 years back as no one had any use for it.

Well brown is a very hard color... are you set on that? These dresses are a too cheap though? At least try this store. Other than that I would suggest getting one made or try all of the designer boutiques, (dior etc) they don't put everything online but I'm sure they'd have the golden jealous factor you're looking for. =]


What's eating my quince tree?

I have a quince tree in my backyard that flowers each year and yields buckets full of fruit. However, the fruit has little dots on the outside and, when you cut into it, the dots reveal what look like little tunnels that go to the core of the fruit. The core is all black and rotted, leaving almost no healthy flesh to eat. If left on the tree, the blackness makes its way through the whole fruit. A huge disappointment because quince jam is delicious!





Is there anything I can spray on the tree so I can get healthy edible fruit? (It's already flowered this season)





thanks in advance

What's eating my quince tree?
It sounds like your quince have been attacked by an insect called the "Plum Curculio", which is found in apples, quince, plums, peaches and other fruit trees.





"These worms are a stage in the life-cycle of a beetle called the plum curculio. When the fruit is young, the plum curculio lays its eggs on the surface of the skin, cutting the skin and folding it over the egg. When the egg hatches, the worm then crawls to the center of the peach. You may notice a small crescent-shaped scar on the surface of the fruit shortly after the egg has been laid. After the eggs have hatched, it is too late to spray; spray with Sevin or Malathion before the eggs are laid, when the flower petals begin to fall (about 5 days after bloom)."





An "organic" alternative is to use a product called "Surround", which is a clay-based product. Surround WP provides substantial control of plum curculio on apples. Surround forms a thin clay barrier around the fruit that repels adults and prevents them from depositing eggs in the fruit. Begin spraying Surround on the trees at petal fall and continue applications until one week before harvest.


Surround WP is available to the home gardener through a variety of mail-order sources.





Hope this information will help you obtain a great harvest of quince! GOOD LUCK!

When is quince ready to harvest?

Our new flat has a quince tree in the garden. It is really heavy with fruit and the fruit is already pretty huge. Does anyone know when to harvest quince? Some have come away easily already so I did an experimental pudding with it (baked with honey) but it had a really bitter aftertaste. Is it still unripe and


will it ever ripen in the uk? I hate to waste it if I can cook them but I have never dealt with quince before!





Thanks for your help

When is quince ready to harvest?
The appearance of the mature fruit differs depending on the climate. Colder regions develop fruits with woolly rough rinds while in warmer climates the rind looses its woolly character. When ripe It gives off a strong scent and its hard flesh is very bitter when raw.


http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/quince.ht...





Rich in tannin and pectin, the quince must always be cooked in order to achieve its delicate and flavourful potential. Its flesh is firm, tough, acidic and astringent and it gives off a strong odour, which is passed on to everything with which it comes in contact. In Europe it is used to make jam, candy and liquor. The word "marmalade" comes from the Portuguese "inannelo" or "marmelo," meaning quince. In fact, until the end of the 18th century, marmalade was made almost exclusively of quinces!


http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/fruit...





Harvest fruit when they are golden yellow.


Quinces are too hard, astringent and sour to eat raw unless 'bletted' (softened by frost). They are used to make jam, jelly and quince pudding, or they may be peeled, then roasted. The very strong perfume means they can be added in small quantities to apple pies and jam to enhance the flavour


http://www.edinformatics.com/culinaryart...





Some Quince are ornamentals %26amp; will produce fruits that are hard and nearly inedible, though they have a high pectin content and are occasionally mixed with other fruits in jellies and preserves.

Reply:They will be yellow, yet quite firm. Don't expect it to be soft.


Even baked they aren't very sweet. Enjoy!!

I am propagating butterfly Bushes, flowering quince, oleander and a few others. Where can I market these?

I want to start propagating and selling to growers, anyone have some experience and help me out? I have been propagating for a few years but want to start making money at it! Thanks in advance!

I am propagating butterfly Bushes, flowering quince, oleander and a few others. Where can I market these?
First, you need to check with your state to see about probably getting a nursery license. Here in the state of Indiana, you have to have a nursery license if you are going to sell live plants. Any stock that is sent to you has to be certified stock and inspectors have to come into your nursery to certify that your nursery stock does not contain any diseases. Also by becoming a certified nursery there are certain plants that can't be sent to certain states.





Once you become a certified nursery then your nursery becomes known to other nurseries and you can sell to them when they run short on plants they need. Plus there are websites where you can advertise what plants you have to other nurseries or you can even sell plants on Ebay.





But first and foremost you need to see about becoming a certified nursery.





Also, you have to be careful regarding some plants that you propogate. Some plants have patents on them and if you propogate and sell plants from that patented plant you have to pay the patent owner a fee.

What should a 15 year old boy wear to a quince party for a 15 year old Colombian girl?

My son was invited to a quince party and I am not sure what he should wear for this occasion.

Is Japanese Quince poisonous to plants?

I searched all the lists on the web about toxic and safe plants for cats and I can't find Japanese Quince on any of them. I need help!

Is Japanese Quince poisonous to plants?
According to this website, the plant is NOT poisonous.


(*indicates non-poisonous species)


http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/public...





to make sure Call the Angell Animal Poison Control Hotline at 1-877-2ANGELL.


24 hours a day, 365days a year. there is a $55 charge....





Good luck.
Reply:Because the range of plants that are poisonous is so wide, a vet will tell you it is and a florist will tell you it isn't, I decided I love my cat more than the plants and the plants got a new home. Best to assume they are all poison.


When to harvest quince?

First time growing quince. The fruits are falling off the tree here in Zone 4 but they are still hard. Is this normal?

When to harvest quince?
Well, there are a lot of answers to this, depending on the variety. Most Quince are actually hard. They are usually used when cooked, or sweetened, or used for canning and preserves. There was a variety made in the 90's called apple quince which can be eaten raw. The actual time for harvesting is quite long. Fall through spring depending on variety...


This is a good website (I'm a vegetarian and love this site) that tells the history ect...


http://www.vegparadise.com/highestperch5...





There is also a goverment report that may be helpful to you as well http://usna.usda.gov/hb66/117quince.pdf#...





Basically that site states harvesting is good when the fruit changes from a dark to a light green.





I think the first site has much more information, and is more interesting.





I hope this helps. I'm jealous, I wish I had a quince tree...
Reply:I have a quince bush in front of my house. I never knew what it was until my friend who knows all about trees and plants told me what it was. She said pick the fruit in the fall...yes they are hard and depending on the variety (mine are bumpy) She took a bunch of them home and cooked them down until they were soft. She said to add sugar to taste(they are very tart) add strawberries and bake the mixture in a pie. Tastes like strawberry rhubarb pie. Yum!
Reply:There a couple kinds of quince. Sounds like yours are the smaller, tarter (harder) kind.





If they drop, harvest then. If the plant can manage to hang onto the fruits until a frost, harvest after frost.





They'll need sugar - but less sugar for those that manage to grow past frost.

Can you freeze quince paste and have it thaw as a gel again?

I discovered that there was a quince tree in the backyard of the house we bought! Now that I have identified the fruit (finally!) and it is fall, I have made some quince paste. It is very fragrant, and the house smells wonderful. It is in the fridge setting up right now.





The question is, I have TONNES of it and I won't be able to eat it all at once. Does quince paste freeze well? Will it still be a nice fragrant gel when it thaws? Or will it turn to mush or liquid?

Can you start a new bush from a existing red flowering quince?

I have a red flowering quince in my yard and I would like to try too get a start from the existing one and plant it across from the other one, can that be done? or should I just buy one?

Can you start a new bush from a existing red flowering quince?
I was able to start another quince by digging up a section of branches and roots from the back of ours. It was a very time-consuming project as the roots went deep down. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the effort as they grow slowly and I am still not satisfied with the amount of growth on the transplanted shrub.





If I had it to do over, I would have just bought another Quince instead.
Reply:If any of the branches are within reach of ground level you could try layering it. Select a not too old branch near the ground and make a cut half way through it at a height where you can bury the split part in the soil. Peg it down so it stays buried, and by next year if you are lucky it may have grown roots. Then you can dig it up and cut it all the way through, and there you are! It may help to dip the cut part in hormone rooting powder before you bury it.


This method works for lots of plants but I don't know if it will work for quince. This time next year you will know!
Reply:I have never had any success with starting a new quince from my existing one. My quince has a number of shooters and even when I'm able to dig up a shooter with an existing root system it just doesn't want to take. I do have plenty of quince volunteers, however, thanks to the squirrels who bury the apples around the yard.


Personally, I think it's just easier to buy a second quince than trying to fuss around with trying to root one :)

How do I cook a quince (just for eating like a fruit, not to make quince jam)?

I would like to know how to eat quince fruits, I supose you have to soften the skin by some kind of cooking first.

How do I cook a quince (just for eating like a fruit, not to make quince jam)?
Needs to be boiled gently, or steamed for a long time (this keeps its shape better).
Reply:Thank YOU, Atilio! Report It

Reply:Quinces are not eaten fresh because of their astringency (due to high tannin content). Because of its high pectin content, it’s particularly popular for use in jams, jellies, and preserves. Quinces tend to hold their shape, so they are ideal for poaching, stewing, or baking as a dessert.
Reply:Same as with apples and pears, you don't need to cook quinces to eat them, if cat, they're very good raw. Just make sure it's ripe enough (yellow/golden colour) and if you find the skin too haard to your liking, just peel it.
Reply:Stew it in fruit juice or wine and plenty of sugar. The result can be pureed and added to yoghurt or similar, or ontop of cereals. Where have you got quinces from?
Reply:Quince is virtually impossible to eat as a raw fruit, but cooked it s wonderful. Try Nigel Slater' site for his Quince and Lemon Crumble.
Reply:atilio just wash the quincy really good and cut it in slices and put some chile and lemon
