Quince Compote with Honey! One Year shelf life!

Prepare a bowl with 1 liter of cold water to which you will add the juice of two freshly squeezed lemons. Wash and peel the quinces, cut them into cubes and add them to the bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning.
At the end, after cutting all the quinces into pieces, add some ice cubes in the water and leave them in the water for ten minutes.
After ten minutes, drain the quinces and transfer to the jars.
Add two spoons of honey to each jar and finally pour cold water over them.
Optionally, add an aroma of spices. I usually use star anise in each jar, but you can add cinnamon sticks or cloves.
Close the jars and if you want to store them during the next year or winter, you need to pasteurize them. Add the prepared jars of compote in the oven and turn on at 120 degrees for 20 minutes.
Be careful when you pasteurize jars in the oven, the oven needs to be cold so that your jars don't burst if you put them directly in a heated oven. The same applies to removing the jars. After twenty minutes, turn off the oven and leave the jars inside to cool. A sudden change in temperature can lead to cracking. I have been using this method in the oven for years when pasteurizing food, because it is easier and more reliable for me.
Chilled quince compote has a shelf life of one year prepared this way.
Cheers ! I believe you will enjoy in this healthy compote!
