Directions
1.
Peel quinces and apple; core and cut into bite-sized pieces. (Should have about 5 cups cut fruit total.) In a large saucepan combine quince, apple, nectar or orange juice, sugar, apricots, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat.
2.
Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until fruit is just tender, stirring occasionally. Serve warm or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use as a topping for cake or ice cream.
3.
Makes 4 cups (8 servings).

Note
Quinces are ripe when they are still quite firm, but no longer rock-hard. They have a strong, flowery aroma.
