Quince Juice

Pare, core, and quarter some very ripe quinces. Put them into an earthen jar, with a pint of cold water for each pound of fruit. Cover the jar closely, place it in a saucepan of water, and let the fruit steam gently until it is broken. Then lift the jar out of the water, remove the cover, and leave the fruit untouched until the next day. Turn it into a jelly-bag, and strain the juice until it is clear and bright, when it will be ready for use. The pulp may be boiled with moist sugar for common use. If the quinces are allowed to boil too long their colour will be spoilt.
