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

Steps

1

Wash the kumquats well and take off the stem ends. Weigh the kumquats at this point. Based on that number, weigh the sugar and water out too.
2

Cut the kumquats in half, and take out any seeds.
3

Put the kumquats, sugar and water in a pan, and start cooking over high heat.
4

When it comes to a boil turn the heat down to low. Simmer while skimming off the scum and stirring occasionally.
5

When the liquid has reduced to the stage you like, it's done! The peel will be glossy and radiant. (If you simmer until the kumquats have almost completely disintegrated, it becomes jam.)
6

Storing options: Pack them in jars and store in the refrigerator. Seefor instructions.
7

Storing options: Pack in to ziplock bags and freezer. Let it defrost naturally in the refrigerator before using.

Bonus Kumquats are packed with vitamin C, so it's said that they help to prevent colds, recover from fatigue, and clear your complexion. It's something we should eat more.
