How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?

I've never had a kumquat before and I noticed them at the supermarket the other day.

How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?
Here's a couple of sites to look at.
Reply:Wash them because lots of people pick them up out of curiosity. Then, eat a small one. You'll either hate or love them. Or even better, slice into small slices, then try one. I think they're too tart for out-of-hand eating, so I make a simple sugar syrup (about 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup or less sugar), bring to a slow boil, then lower the heat, add the quats, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes. They'll turn translucent. Drain, cool and add to a fruit salad. Or on ice cream. Lotsa luck.
Reply:They are fine to eat skin and all..you can also make preserves with them..sort of like a marmalade..


A little tart..kind of like eating an entire orange in one bite..
Reply:wash them and eat them, rinds and all - they are different, but delicious!!!
