Description

These are easy to make, but they do take some time because you have to slowly reduce the syrup that the kumquats are cooked in. These are good eaten plain, chopped up and put in breads or muffins, chopped up and put on ice cream, or mixed with honey and eaten over panna cotta!

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces, weight Kumquats
  • 1-⅓ cup Water
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Freshly Grated Ginger

Preparation

1. Wash and dry the kumquats, then use a sharp paring knife to cut vertical slits into the fruit (between 5 to 8 slits depending on the size of the fruit).

2. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the kumquats, and boil them for three minutes. If they are still very bitter, repeat the boiling process with fresh water. Soak the boiled kumquats in cold water for 5 minutes and then drain them.

3. Lightly squeeze open the fruit by pinching it open between your thumb and forefingers and use a bamboo skewer to remove the seeds.

4. Bring the 1 1/3 cups of water to a boil and stir in the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, stir in the freshly grated ginger and the kumquats. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, occasionally skimming off the white scum that collects on the surface. Continue to simmer until the fruit is shiny and glassy and the syrup has simmered down until it barely covers the fruit. Transfer the fruit and syrup to a glass jar and store it in the refrigerator.

In a tightly sealed container, the candied kumquats will keep for about 6 months in the refrigerator.
