- Wash and quarter the quinces, remove core and discard.
- Grate quinces coarsely, rinse, and drain.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, add the water and grated quince. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add sugar and cinnamon, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.
- Add lemon juice, cover, and continue to simmer about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When done, syrup will be thickened, and the fruit will be red in color.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.
- Best served at room temperature.
- Note: Don't let this get too thick. It's best when slightly syrupy.
