Pare and core the quinces, cut them into small cubes, and tie skins and cores in a muslin bag. Soak the fruit in water overnight. Next morning boil for two hours, with the muslin bag containing skins and pips in the preserving pan. Remove the bag and weigh the stewed fruit. For every lib allow lib of sugar. Boil for 1 hour or longer, until the colour is good. Too long boiling will harden the fruit. The best way to manage the weighing is to weigh preserving-pan before putting in the fruit, then weigh with fruit In it. This does away with the necessity for taking the fruit from the pan to weigh it. Quince Honey Allow 01b of sugar and 1 pint of water to 01b of fruit. Dissolve sugar in water in preserving pan and bring to the boil. Meanwhile wipe quinces and grate, with large grater into boiling syrup—if grated long before adding, the fruit will discolour. The quinces need not be peeled. When all are grated in, bring to the boil and boil for half an hour.
