Preserved Kumquats Recipe

Preserved Kumquats

From chefmeow 16 years ago

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Morgan Estate in Austin, Texas in 1982.

Boil sugar and water together for 5 minutes then cool.
Meanwhile wash kumquats and cut small cross in blossom end of each.
Place in cooled syrup.
Cover and bring to boil then simmer 1 hour.
Do not remove cover at end of cooking time or fruit will shrink.
Remove covered saucepan from heat then cool with cover on to room temperature.
Pack in hot sterilized jars then cover with syrup and seal.
Nice as a relish for poultry or meat or serve as dessert with cheese and crackers.
Also good over vanilla ice cream.
