What You’ll Need
- Quince apples
- A paring knife or vegetable peeler
- A cutting board
Step 1: Wash the Quince Apples
Start by washing the quince apples under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2: Cut Off the Ends
Using either a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, carefully cut off both ends of the apple. This will provide a stable base for the next steps.
Step 3: Score the Skin
With a sharp paring knife, make shallow lengthwise cuts around the circumference of the apple. This will help loosen the skin and make peeling easier.
Step 4: Peel the Skin
Starting from the top, gently peel the skin downwards using your paring knife or vegetable peeler. Take your time and be cautious not to cut too deep into the flesh of the apple.
Step 5: Remove Any Remaining Skin
Inspect the apple after peeling to see if any patches of skin remain. If you spot any, simply use your knife or peeler to carefully remove them.
Step 6: Rinse the Peeled Quince Apples
Give the peeled quince apples a final rinse under cold water to remove any lingering bits of skin.
