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

I wanted to come up with a delicious way to eat and store kumquats.Be careful not to over-heat it so that it retains the color and fragrance.By not using high heat, the kumquats will turn out soft.Add the Cointreau at the end in order to retain the fragrance and for storage. Recipe by Yukijirushi

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

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

I like Japanese citrus fruits, especially kumquat (kinkan) is good for throat. Also it's good for Osechiryori. We can eat sweet boiled kumquat whole! Let's enjoy the flavor of kumquat.

I make these every year when I manage to get some small figs. These fruits are also easy to use for jam. They're delicious.If you don't like the skins on the figs, you can peel them off.This tastes great even if you don't have red wine.Boil the larger figs for a little bit longer.It's probably better to add a little more sugar if you will be storing these for 1 month.

I made compote with the loquats that grow in abundance in our garden.I have a batch that is several times more than shown in the photo.It's easier to remove the scum if you add enough wine to cover the fruit.The final amount was about 60% of the original weight of the loquats. You can calculate how much sugar to use based on that. Recipe by Hiro358.

I used some bruised peaches to make compote. You can eat it plain, but I also recommend using it to make tarts or jelly. Here are the peach compote pieces with yogurt in a different dessert recipe.-In Step 2, if your peaches are soft, be careful not to simmer them for too long.-If you're making a lot at once, you can boil the peaches whole. If boiling whole, extend the boiling time a little. If you want to store the compote for a longer time, increase the amount of sugar and store in a sterilized jar. The amount of sugar in this recipe is reduced, so enjoy as soon as possible. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I always make this compote when American cherries are in season.The alcohol will evaporate off, so this is delicious even for those who don't drink alcohol. For children, you can replace the white wine with water. Add the Kirsch before turning off the heat to evaporate the alcohol. By the way, you can also make this with Japanese cherries.

This is a delicious way to use up and preserve all the peaches from my in-laws.Simmering with the peel turns the syrup into a beautiful light pink color.When storing in the refrigerator, consume within a week or freeze.Make this compote to use with a variety of desserts, it's handy to have on hand.

I made this easy and simple flavoured compote because I wanted to make a cake using peach compote. Recipe by Bypy

I bought lots of peaches, so I wanted to use them while they were still fresh.If the peaches are ripe, you should be able to slightly reduce the simmering time; feel free to make adjustments as you like.If the skin has a deep colour, simmering the peaches with their skins gives the compote a beautiful pink colour (when using white wine).I recommend serving these the following day.
