Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 1 Piece cinnamon bark *Or*
4 Quinces (about 1 kg) 2 Rose geranium leaves
3 c Water 1/4 c Blanched split almonds *
4 c Sugar 2 tb Lemon juice
2 Thin lemon rind strips

*Note: almonds should be toasted.

Cooking time: 1 1/2 hours

Wash quinces well and rub off all fuzz. Peel, quarter and remove
core. Place peels and cores in a pan with 2 cups water and boil for
20 minutes. Grate quince quarters and place in a heavy preserving pan
with remaining water. Leave aside until peels are boiled. Do not be
concerned if quince discolours.

Strain liquid from peels into a measuring jug and make up to 2 cups
with water. Add this to grated quince with the sugar, lemon rind and
cinnamon bark or washed geranium leaves. Place over medium heat and
stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to the boil and boil fairly rapidly for 1 hour or until it gels
when tested on a cold saucer.

Stir in almonds and lemon juice and boil 1 minute longer. Ladle into
hot, sterilized jars and seal when cold.

Note: As the peel and core contain pectin, the setting ingredients
for jellies and preserves, it is advisable that these be boiled to
extract the pectin.
