Kumquat Marmalade

You will find that the Kumquat fruit is perfect for making marmalade, compote or preserve.

For Kumquat marmalade you put 1 kg of the clean fruit, sliced and pips removed, and add 1 kg of sugar, plus one package of setting agent. Maybe you want to add the juice of 3 fresh lime fruits. Lime, not lemon. Cook until tender.

Fill into jam jars or old household jars of the right size. It is better to use jars of a smaller size.

Enjoy.

    good day,
    i have lost my recipe for kumquat preserve: certain quantity of kumquat, sugar and water, fruit cut in quarters, all boiled for a certain time and bottled – quantities and time elude me – - any help?

    The recipe for this and some other interesting tricks and treats can be found on the Kumquat growers homepage. Check recipes out there and let your boldness reign. And surprise your loved ones, maybe by serving a fabulous cup of Kumquat tea.

    AND WHAT IS THE KUMQUAT GROWERS HOME PAGE???

    i would like to receive help!

    regards Margret
