Never heard of or tasted a quince? The quince (Cydonia oblonga) is an ancient fruit, often overlooked in modern cuisine. It's a member of the Rosaceae family, which also includes apples and pears. In its raw state, the yellow quince is hard, tart, and somewhat astringent, making it unpalatable for eating fresh. However, when cooked, the quince transforms, developing a beautiful aroma, a softer texture, and a complex, sweet-tart flavor.

Proudly made in the USA, each jar of Quince Jelly is the result of conscientious efforts by our dedicated team at Annie's Kitchen. We believe in maintaining utmost freshness and use only all-natural ingredients. 

Raw quinces are pale yellow. So why is Annie's quince jelly this distinctive reddish-orange hue? The answer lies in the cooking process. As quinces cook, a chemical reaction occurs involving the fruit's pectin and naturally occurring acids. This reaction produces a pigment that deepens in color the longer the fruit is cooked. Amish cooks, known for their patience and traditional methods, often simmer their quince for an extended period, resulting in that rich, characteristic color. The longer the cooking, the deeper the red.

Our Quince Jelly is carefully packaged in a clear 9.6-ounce glass jar, ensuring safe delivery to your doorstep. With its sweet-tart and smooth texture, it is delicious spread on warm biscuits or scones, providing a fruity contrast to the buttery richness. The jelly pairs wonderfully with sharp cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère, creating a balanced and flavorful combination. It can also be served alongside roasted meats such as pork or lamb, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity to complement the savory flavors. Additionally, some people may enjoy using quince jelly as a glaze for baked goods or simply eat it with a spoon.

Made in the USA and registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, our jelly is the perfect addition to your pantry.
