Let it cook until the quinces are soft. Puree the quinces with a hand blender and bring to the boil again briefly.
Pour the hot chutney into hot twin-off glasses and close immediately. Makes approx. 4 - 5 glasses. Goes well with all Indian dishes. For a longer shelf life, preheat the oven to 100 ° C and preserve the chutney for 40 minutes.
