Remove the thyme, and pour the jelly into jars and close with lids. When the jelly has cooled, put it in the refrigerator.

Quince jelly - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use apples or pears as substitutes, but keep in mind the flavor will be different. Quince has a unique tartness and aroma that’s hard to replicate.
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.
Use the spoon test: Dip a cold spoon into the syrup. If it coats the back and drips slowly, it’s ready. Alternatively, a candy thermometer should read 220°F (104°C).
Yes, simply ensure the sugar used is vegan-friendly (some are processed with bone char). The rest of the ingredients are naturally plant-based.
Rosemary, lavender, or vanilla beans make great alternatives. Adjust quantities to taste, as flavors vary in intensity.
Yes, but cook in batches if your pot is small to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding may affect the jelly’s texture and cooking time.
