Rinse off the quince and then peel them. Cut them in quarters and remove the seeds. Then cut lengthwise in small pieces, put them in a bowl, covered with cold water and add the lemon juice. This way we avoid discoloration, while cutting them into pieces.


Drain the quince, put them in a pot and sprinkle with the sugar. Pour in the water, 2-3 drops of lemon juice and boil until the quince are tender and the syrup has thickened.


Remove the pot from the heat and let the preserve cool down overnight.
