What each ingredient does
- Quince juice
- Provides the fruit flavour and the natural pectin that lets the jelly set.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jelly and helps it thicken and set as it cooks.
The step that matters
Boiling to jelly consistency. Boil until the mixture reaches the setting point. Too little cooking leaves a runny jelly, while overcooking can make it stiff or cloudy and dull in flavour.
