Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
After receiving another gift of perfectly ripe kumquats, I decided to concoct a recipe that would preserve them but keep their fresh, delicious flavor intact. This recipe is an easy marmalade and only uses a few ingredients.
The sweetness of kumquat peel mixed with the tartness of its juice makes for a wonderfully tangy jam, while bitterness takes a back seat. This simple marmalade recipe doesn’t require days of soaking, boiling & straining like many versions.
This tasty winter treat is made from my neighbors' kumquats and some maple syrup gifted to me by a friend from up north. The flavors are delicious together and make a great marmalade for toast or to put with cheeses!
