Are you looking for a simple jam recipe? Look no further! The smell of jam fills the air!! We just came back from a visit to Beirut and Paris. We spent some family time together with my mom and my in-laws! While we were there, mama made quince jam, using the wonderful smelling fruit sitting in her kitchen basket! Mom is widely creative and passionate about her jams! One of the most pleasurable moments for me is to look through her old torn sheet recipes and her old cooking magazines! I don\u2019t know why !! Maybe this brings back fond memories of the dishes we enjoyed as children.<\/p>\n

Quinces, a\u00a0distant relative to\u00a0apples and pears, make\u00a0a wonderful, spreadable sticky jam.-\u00a0though more mouth-puckering when eaten raw. The fruit is native to Lebanon, Iran, Turkey and Greece and a familiar tree throughout the Middle East;\u00a0quince produces a natural pectin when cooked. The jam is flavored with mastic gum that adds a wonderful dimension.<\/p>\n

Quince is\u00a0 so good for you, here is an article about the health benefits of this underrated fruit from The\u00a0Organic Facts<\/a>\u00a0and why you should include it more in your\u00a0diet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The good thing here is that the jam does not require food coloring or even pectin. The flesh of the fruit is beige in color when cut raw that naturally turns to red when cooked.<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought of pairing mastic gum with jams? Yes, mastic goes enticingly well with jams, and here is a good example for that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The jam is great with Arabic bread, toasts, scones or French baguette, crackers or just straight out of the jar! Em! Yes I do that!<\/p>\n
