(from The Settlement Cookbook)
2-1/2 pounds quinces, wiped, cored, and quartered
1/4 cup water
2 pounds sugar
Pour water into bottom of a large casserole or covered baking dish. Add fruit and sugar in alternate layers, the sugar on top. Cover. Bake 2-3 hours (or more) in a slow oven, 250°F, basting 3-4 times with the hot syrup. (It's done when translucent.)
Pack in sterilized glasses and seal.
This recipe will also work with crabapples (2-1/2 pounds of larger red crabapples, washed, dried, and with blossom ends removed), or seckel pears (flavored, if desired, with ginger or lemon juice).
