Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/4 lbs quinces
4 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar (for each cup of quince juice, see later in recipe)
2 tsp lemon juice
2 rose-scented geranium leaves

Directions:

Wash quinces well to remove the fuzz; peel and core.
Slice quinces into preserving pan; and add 2 cups water; set aside and do not be concerned if quince discolours.
Place peels and cores into a pan with remaining water and boil for 30 minutes.
Strain and make liquid up to 2 cups with water.
Add liquid from peels to sliced quinces in pan.
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour until quince flesh is very tender.
Scald a large piece of cheese cloth or doubled butter muslin, wring out and drape over a deep bowl.
Pour quince and liquid into clean cloth and gather up ends.
Tie with string and suspend over bowl; and secure to a fixed object so that juice can drip slowly into bowl.
Leave for 24 hours- do not squeeze bag to hasten dripping as this will make jelly cloudy.
Measure juice into clean preserving pan.
For each cup of juice add 1 cup sugar.
Stir over heat till sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and washed geranium leaves and bring to a boil.
Boil rapidly for 25 minutes, skimming frequently.
Test a teaspoonful on a cold saucer and leave to cool.
Run finger across jelly in saucer- setting point is reached when surface wrinkles.
Note-It is advisable to remove pan from heat while jelly is being tested as you may overcook the jelly.
Remove leaves and ladle hot jelly into hot sterilized jars.
Seal when cold.
