Necessary ingredients for making clear and colorful quince fruit jam

The first step to making a great jam is to wash and peel the quinces. Note that peeling them is a matter of taste, and if you wash them well, you can make quince jam with the skin, which is very tasty and popular.
This mostly depends on your taste and, of course, whether you intend to make a simple or special jam. After washing them, put them on the kitchen board and cut them in half, remove the cores, and put them aside.
2. Chop quince fruit finely and cook it
Now, it’s time to chop the quinces with a knife. At this stage, you can choose chopped or grated jam for cooking according to your taste.
After chopping them, pour them in the pot. Add 6 glasses of water with sugar to the pot, close the lid of the pot, and let it boil on high heat. You can also use a copper pot to improve the quality of the jam.
moraba beh without sugar, such as jam with grape juice and jam with honey, are other types of jam that you can prepare.
3. Brewing until the jam reaches the desired concentration
After boiling, reduce the heat and put a lid on the pot. After this, we allow the jam to cook for an hour and reach a sufficient concentration.
Leaving a lid on the pot will make your jam red and bright. Note that usually, the jam becomes harder after cooling, so you should only heat it a little.
4. Add your favorite seasonings
After about 30 minutes, remove the skin of the cardamoms and add its seeds to the jam along with the brewed saffron.
At this stage, try the jam’s consistency; if it has reached the desired level, remove the jam from the heat.
To test the consistency of the jam, pour a quantity of jam nectar into a glass of cold water, and if it reaches the bottom of the glass without disintegrating, it means that the jam has found enough consistency; Otherwise, the jam needs to stay on the heat longer.
After moraba beh is ready, we remove the pot lid and wait for the jam to cool down. After the jam cools down, pour it into the desired glass container and store it in the refrigerator.
An important thing to pay attention to is that be sure to lower the heat and place the pot on the spreader flame so that the jam cooks slowly for one or two hours.
During this time, the jam’s nectar may evaporate; to avoid reducing the jam syrup, it is necessary to check the jam every 30 minutes, and if the syrup is too thick, add a little boiling water to it.
6. The color and redness of the jam
After 30 minutes of moraba beh cooking, put a steamer on the door and reduce the heat to have a jam with nice color and according to your taste.
If you have a flame spreader at home, be sure to set it on low heat, put the pot on it, and let your delicious jam cook slowly and slowly at a low temperature and get a nice color.
While cooking the jam, please open the door every half an hour and check its concentration and color.
If the color of the jam is not close to your desired color and the concentration has increased, you can add a glass of boiling water to it and put the lid back on the pot. In the next half hour and the jam will reach the desired color.
