Peel and core the quinces, chop them up and throw them into the pot.
Add the lemon juice, the water and wait for the mixture to boil.
Once it reaches the boiling point, cook for an hour on low heat.
After the first hour, add the sugar and, when it dissolves, add the ground cloves and wait another hour.
Remember to stir the quinces from time to time so that it doesn't stick.
