Quince Preserves

(from The Settlement Cookbook)

Wash, peel, core and cut quinces in 1/2" cubes. Add cold water to cover, boil until tender. Drain juice.

Weigh fruit. For each pound of fruit, use 1 pound of sugar. Boil juice and sugar 5 minutes, add fruit. Boil until fruit is clear and deep red.

Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal. (...and process in a boiling water bath...)

Following this is a similar recipe that calls for 1 peck quinces, 1/4 peck sweet apples, and 1/2 peck pears.  One adds 3/4 pound of sugar per pound of fruit.  More details on request.
