After this cook them for a shorter time and pour them immediately into the sterilized jars. This way much less water is released from the fruit, the cooked fruit has much better texture and the syrup is perfectly congealed. I would also recommend using geranium instead of vanilla/cloves combination. The quinces are perfectly paired with geranium, if it is properly dosed. It is enough to add one or two smaller leaves per 700ml jar. Another way to do this is to prepare the syrup first, add lemon juice and then grate quince pieces into it.

As I was packing the quince into jars I tossed a couple of cloves in each jar. I'm glad you asked about this, I should really have quantified it. @15 Tina: I think I used about 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.

I love to make them, but never eat them. :-) @11 Paula - Actually, when I put the mountain of sugar in, my first thought was, “Why can’t I ever pick a pot that’s big enough?”

I'm contemplating a quince version of applesauce, but that'll have to wait till next year. Well, Katie, membrillo is close enough to this spoon sweet.
