Can anyone tell me if it is possible to make quince jelly from the
fruits of the Japanese quince. I never have but one of the shrubs is
absolutely laden this year. A friend and I were discussing the
possibility yesterday, but neither of us is sure! Not wishing to
poison anyone ................................:-)


Yes, from experience, I can certify it makes a very passable quince
jelly,
and does not seem to be toxic!


I've been given a load of quinces - any special tips on the quince jelly?
I've never made it before



My experience was as the grower of the quince, donor of the fruits, and
recipient/guinea pig of the finished product, so I can't tell you how to do
it. I have a vague recollection that mention was made it was quite difficult
to get it to set, but something like Certo (?) saved the day.

No doubt jam makers will be able to supply recipes and tips.
