Chinese quince in honey

Updated on 9 October 2026

• Makes: ± 2 jars
• Time: 30 min + 2 weeks
• From: Chinese quince

Ingredients

• 1 Chinese quince (± 600 g)
• 400 g runny honey
• 1 piece of ginger (optional)

Method

1. Rub off the down, quarter the fruit, remove the core and pips and slice the flesh very thinly.
2. Put the slices with the ginger into clean jars.
3. Pour over the honey until everything is covered and seal.
4. Leave for 2 weeks in the fridge; the honey becomes runnier and takes on the scent of quince.

Storing: A few months in the fridge. A spoonful in hot water makes a fragrant drink for a scratchy throat; the slices can be eaten.
