Reply:Kumquats In Brown Sugar %26amp; Vanilla Bean Syru Directions


By cooking kumquats down with sugar and vanilla, the


bitterness is removed from the rind and they become a


tantalizing garnish or topping for sweet or savory


dishes.





Place the kumquats in a large saucepan and add water


to cover. Bring to a full boil and, when foam begins


to form on the surface, reduce the heat to medium.


Continue to cook for 10 min more. Drain the kumquats


and set aside.





In the same saucepan over a high heat, bring the water


to a gentle boil. Add the sugars, reduce the heat to


medium, and stir constantly until the sugars have


dissolved, about 3 min. Add the kumquats and vanilla


bean and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low


and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the


kumquats are transparent and soft, about 1 hour. Many


of the kumquats will have burst and their skins will


appear transparent.





Spoon the kumquats and syrup into a clean jar, let


cool, cover, and refrigerate. They will keep,


refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
