Kumquat Compote
My mother used to make fig or kumquat compote, summer tangerine marmalade and other preserves for her children. Before I knew it, I was stewing them myself.
I got some organic kumquats, and stewed them to take to my friend, but my grandchild was born the other day, so I won't go tomorrow after all.
My mother would use ash to remove the bitterness before stewing, but I stew them without that step. Since this recipe uses a large amount of kumquats, I didn't go through the trouble to remove the seeds. When making a small amount, remove the seeds. That will make them more elegant to eat.
I've heard that honey has antibacterial properties, so I always add it to stewed preserves. Recipe by ou mama

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make 5 to 6 shallow cuts into the surface of the kumquats. For those who want to remove the seeds, use a toothpick or skewer to pop them out. Since this recipe uses a large amount of kumquats, I skipped that troublesome step.
- 2
Fill a sauce pan with the kumquats and plenty of water and bring to a boil.
- 3
Scum should rise to the surface as it boils.
- 4
Refresh the water, then bring to a boil again. Repeat this step 2 to 3 times.
- 5
When the scum stops rising, drain in a colander.
- 6
Transfer the kumquats to an enamel coated pot.
- 7
Add enough water to cover, 500 g of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of honey. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
- 8
Place a drop lid inside and simmer on low heat.
- 9
It's ready when the liquid reduces to a syrup and the kumquats become translucent.
- 10
- 11
I preserve them in jars that have been sterilized by spraying with alcohol, then dried. I include the syrup and store them in the refrigerator. When storing in the freezer, remove them from the syrup and store them in resealable plastic bags.

Kumquat Jam Kumquat Jam
I learnt this recipe from a cooking class a long time ago, but I lost the recipe so I recreated it on my own. I think they taught us to wash the kumquats with rice bran, but I just eliminated any complicated steps.I used a 1/4 of the weight of the kumquats in sugar (if you want to preserve the jam for a long time, add more sugar). Incidentally, I always divide the jam into small batches and freeze it. I don't bother with sterilizing the jars with boiling water (since I've never had the jam go bad this way. If you are worried that it will though, sterilize the jars). Recipe by Setsubunhijiki -
Kumquats Simmered In Rich Sugar Syrup Kumquats Simmered In Rich Sugar Syrup
It's here! Kumquat season! So, I decided to make my regular kumquats in sugar syrup. I tried using raw cane sugar as the sugar, which made the flavor rich and mild - a big success.If the bitterness bothers you, bring the kumquats to a boil first and drain before simmering them in the sugar syrup.I use this in recipes a lot, so I made a big amount during kumquat season, and froze it. If you want to eat it plain, it's best enjoyed fresh instead of freezing it. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by yaburie -

Fig Compote Fig Compote
My grandma used to make these every summer. They are just cooked in sugar water. Although they are so simple, they are so good!These are just a bit less sweet than jam. If you make them even less sweet they are light and delicious, but they go bad quickly even if you store them in the refrigerator, so eat them up quickly!The figs exude a lot of moisture, so don't add too much of water.
