Sliced quinces are left for weeks in a brine made with vinegar, water, and a few cloves to make these sweet-and-sour Balkan winter pickles. This low-calorie preserve adds a refreshing touch to winter meals.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the quinces

15 min

Wash the quinces thoroughly and cut them into thin slices. Place them in salted water right away to prevent browning.

2

Boil the brine

10 min

Bring the vinegar, water, cloves, and salt to a boil in a pot, then remove from the heat.

3

Pack into jars

10 min

Arrange the quince slices in jars and pour the cooled brine over them. Seal the jars and leave them in a cool place for at least 3 weeks.

Reminder

Place the quince slices in salted water as soon as you cut them to keep them from browning quickly.
