Kumquat Cont y

Ingredients Method

I wanted to come up with a delicious way to eat and store kumquats....

15 Kumquats (about 300 g)

150 grams Granulated sugar (about 50%of the kumquats)

300 grams Water (double the amount ofthe sugar)

1 tbsp Cointreau

1 Wash the kumquats well and remove the stems. Slice eachkumquat into 4 or 5 slices and remove the seeds.

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

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

4 The kumquats will sink when they absorb the sugar well. Heatagain to preserve it.

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

6 Transfer into containers while still hot, soaking in the syrup, andstore.

7 It's also delicious when used right away. The syrup is delicious aswell.
