Quince jam

Ingredients:

• small quinces, 2 kg

• sugar, 1.5 kg

• lime juice, 1/2 cup

• cardamom, one teaspoon

Directions:

Wash and peel the quinces. Cut each into thin slices, removing the seeds and the hard middle core.

Pour in a non-stick pot. Add enough water to cover the quinces, and cover. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes. Add sugar and cardamom and cook over low heat for about 3 hours until the mix is quite thick. Keep mostly covered during cooking. Add lime juice and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
