What Is Quince Jelly?
Quince jelly is a preserve made from the fruit of the quince tree, which grows widely in the UK. The fruit is cooked, strained, and set with sugar to produce a firm, aromatic jelly with a pale golden colour and a delicate floral flavour.
How Is Quince Jelly Made?
Quinces are washed, chopped, and simmered in water until soft. The pulp is strained overnight, and the juice is measured, then boiled again with sugar until it reaches setting point. The result is a clear, glossy jelly that sets firmly when cooled.
Where to Buy Quince Jelly in the UK
Quince jelly is sold in jars by UK artisan producers, farm shops, and specialist food retailers. It is also available online from trusted grocers and preserve makers, making it easy to buy year-round.
