Ingredients
- 500 gms quince peeled, cored and thinly sliced, 1.1 lbs
- 250 gms sugar 0.55 lbs
- 6-7 mustard essence or mustard essential oil, drops
Notes
- You need to weigh the quinces after peeling and slicing them and keep the ratio of fruits to sugar at 2:1.
- Mustard essence/essential oil is not the same as mustard oil, it is much stronger (so much so that in Italy it is usually found in pharmacies). You should be able to find it online.
