Hmmm. What to do? I have gotten quince jelly to be pink with lemon juice. More experimenting to be done...Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337291320368324416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516199892122090215.post-55274094947895223252011-01-08T21:41:34.886-05:002011-01-08T21:41:34.886-05:00My guess is the lemon juice.

Anyhoo- yes, I cooked the quince forever and it was only when I made membrillo that the color changed, and still it wasn't that deep color I see so often. So weird! That recipe looks real good--I'll have to try it next year when I get quinces again!

I've had to simmer the fruit in juice for quite a while (1/2 hour?) before it turns that crazy orange colour - maybe there's a chemical reaction as it oxidizes / breaks down... or something... ? oh, science. <br /><br />Anyhow, this is one of my fave quince recipes - thought you might find it tasty: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Lamb-Chops-with-Poached-Quince-and-Balsamic-Pan-Sauce-236785Michelle Grimord Eggershttp://www.teameggers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516199892122090215.post-57972658697184283892009-12-01T11:17:55.747-05:002009-12-01T11:17:55.747-05:00Christine, there are so many great facts about qui...Christine, there are so many great facts about quince!

I had to; they were the only ones with half-pint jars left for sale!)<br /><br />And, for the record, Quince-e-dince is brilliant.
