Ingredients
- one-half pint of water
- 1 pound of sugar
- one peck quinces
- 4 lemons
Directions
One peck quinces; peel, core, and weigh them. It will require just so many pounds of sugar. Put on the peelings of the quinces and let them boil perfectly done. Then put the preserves in and the rind of 4 lemons. Let all boil 1/4 hour, till soft enough to allow a straw to pass partly through them. One-half pint of water (quite clean and clear) to 1 pound of sugar; make a syrup and let it commence to boil; skim it and then put in the fruit. Let the fruit boil 1/2 hour exactly; then take out the fruit and lay on a dish. Let your syrup boil steadily 3/4 hour longer. Put your jars in hot water on the stove. Put the fruit in them clear of syrup. Then pour in the syrup and stop the jars up tightly while standing in the boiling water. Let them stand in 1/4 hour.
