Ingredients
Units
Scale
2 cups of roughly chopped kumquats (roughly 16 kumquats)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Roughly chop kumquats. Discard any seeds you can that are easy to get to, but they’re edible, so if you miss some, no worries.
- Heat orange juice and sugar over high heat until it comes to a boil. Simmer for 4 minutes. Add kumquats and simmer for 8 minutes, until transparent.
- Drain kumquats, and reserve syrup. Return the syrup to the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce. Combine the kumquats and 1/4 cup of the syrup together.
- Cool and serve or, scoop into a tightly sealed jar and refrigerate. Can be stored for up to two weeks and substitutes nicely for marmalade.
