Ingredients

  1. 15Kumquats (about 300 g)
  2. 150 gramsGranulated sugar (about 50% of the kumquats)
  3. 300 gramsWater (double the amount of the sugar)
  4. 1 tbspCointreau

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the kumquats well and remove the stems. Slice each kumquat into 4 or 5 slices and remove the seeds.

  2. 2

    Boil the sugar and water, then add the kumquats. Simmer for about 20 minutes over low-medium heat.

  3. 3

    Once they've softened, turn off the heat, then let sit as-is overnight. Don't use a lid so that moisture can evaporate.

  4. 4

    The kumquats will sink when they absorb the sugar well. Heat again to preserve it.

  5. 5

    Once it begins to boil, immediately turn off the heat and add the Cointreau.

  6. 6

    Transfer into containers while still hot, soaking in the syrup, and store.

  7. 7

    It's also delicious when used right away. The syrup is delicious as well.
