1. 1

   Cut quinces in quarters and remove cores. Slice into 1/4 inch strips. Wash and drain. Place quince and water in heavy saucepan.

2. 2

   Bring to boil on high heat, reduce and let simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add sugar and vanilla OR cardamom OR cinnamon.

4. 4

   Place clean dish towel over pan and cover firmly with lid--this way the quince will turn red. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Add lemon juice, cover and simmer for 1 hour more over low heat--stirring gently from time to time--until syrup has thickened and quince has turned red.

6. 6

   Allow to cool.
