Quince jelly can last up to a year if stored in sterilized, airtight jars in the refrigerator. Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination.
You can reduce the sugar, but it may affect the jelly’s texture and shelf life. Consider using a natural sweetener like honey, though the consistency might vary.
Yes, quince jelly freezes well. Pour it into airtight containers, leaving some space for expansion, and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge before use.
Quince jelly pairs wonderfully with cheese boards, roasted meats, or toasted bread. It also makes a great glaze for poultry or dessert topping.

Yes, simply ensure the sugar used is vegan-friendly (some are processed with bone char). The rest of the ingredients are naturally plant-based.
