Kythoni Glyko (Quince Spoon Sweet)

1. 1

   Peel the quinces and grate coarsely (I use my trusty box grater).

2. 2

   Put in a large saucepan; add water, cover and cook over moderate heat until soft.

3. 3

   Add sugar and cook stirring, over medium heat, until the syrup is thick.

4. 4

   Towards the end, add the lemon juice, the almonds, the vanilla and the rose geranium leaves (if using- do use them if you can get them).

5. 5

   When cool, put in large jar and store.

6. 6

   (Greeks just store this on the shelf, without extra processing. I don't know much about canning/storing, but I've never been sick. Still, it might be best to just keep in the fridge and spoon out as needed.) Note: This is FANTASTIC on vanilla ice cream.
