How do you eat a kumquat ? they r tiny tiny oranges?
You can eat the whole thing, but I usually don't because I don't like the skin. I bite a hole in the top, suck all the juice out, tirn it inside out %26amp; eat the fruit.

Reply:You eat the whole thing. I usually soak them in brandy for a few weeks and then eat them.





500 gm kumquats


300 gm Caster or granulated sugar


1 x Cinnamon stick


2 x cloves


Brandy





Prick each kumquat a couple of times with a pin.


Put the sugar into a pan with 500ml water the cinnamon stick and cloves.


Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.


Bring up to the boil.


Add the kumquats and simmer until tender Start checking after 15 minutes taking out kumquats as they are ready.


Put them straight into sterilised jars fitting them in as snugly as you can without squashing them.


Pour in enough brandy to fill about two thirds full.


Remove the cinnamon stick and tuck it down decoratively into one of the jars Top up the jars with the syrup making sure the kumquats are covered add more brandy if necessary.


Seal and leave in a cool dark place for at least two weeks.


Makes three small jars


A boozy after dinner treat for the adults approx serve the brandied kumquats in small glasses with a little of their syrup along with coffee or spoon them over vanilla ice cream.

Reply:I found that peel was sweet and the inside very sour, they are lovely candied, either whole or sliced
Reply:you eat the whole thing! tastes sour
Reply:Eat the Whole Thang ... I did this in Mobile, Alabama many years ago ... very tart, somewhat quinine-y. I sliced-up kumquat would be good in gin or alcohol.
