Wash the quince thoroughly under running water, cut into four parts, and remove the core.

Step 3

Slice the prepared quince into wedges.

Step 4

Place the sliced quince into a pot where the jam will be cooked.

Add sugar to the pot with the quince.

Mix the sugar with the quince well and let it sit for an hour at room temperature to allow the quince to release its juice.
