A kumquat resembles a miniature oval orange, 3–5 centimetres long and 2–4 centimetres wide. Depending on variety, peel color ranges from yellow to red. Kumquat fruit is generally in season from late autumn to mid-winter, and can be found in most food markets with other produce. Here is a picture of the kumquat:

I have a kumquat tree that does not produce fruit. What do I have to do to it?
The tree was here when I moved in 8 years ago.

It may be young and you'll just have to wait for it to mature. If it's the ONLY kumquat tree for miles and miles, waiting wont help... it will have nothing to 'breed' with

Reply:Kumquats are small, oval citrus fruits. They are usually between one to two inches long and have leathery orange or yellow skin. The fruit has a sweet outer skin and a tart inner flesh. The fruit can be eaten whole or some people prefer eating only the skin.
Kumquats are similar in appearance to other citrus fruits except kumquats are much smaller. The picture to the left compares kumquats to an orange.

I am making Kumquat Marmalade, how to sterilize jars?
I don't have any shop bought products to preserve my jar....how do I preserve or steralise my jar?
THANKS.
I am making Kumquat Marmalade, how to sterilize jars?
There are two easy ways to sterilize jars. One is just to use Miltons, the stuff you use to sterilise baby bottles, and mind you if you buy a bottle of this it will surely come in handy in a few months;)
The second is to thoroughly clean jars, remove labels and rinse with hot water. Warm jars in a slow oven (150 degrees celcius) and use them straight from the oven. This prevents the jars from cracking when being filled with the hot mixture. Lids should be boiled or rinsed in very hot water and allowed to drain.
Goodluck with the marmalade, I might get stuck into some jam making myself soon as my jar collection is getting quite big!
Reply:sterlize them by immersing the lids in one pot of water and the jars in a seperate pot and boil for 10-15 mins then take out and completly cool before adding jam to the jar. by the way your recipe sounds deliciouses i have never had kumquats and could u give the recipe on line please.,..thank u...
Reply:THE WAY MOTHER DID IT SHE PUT THEM IN VERY HOT WARTER.
Reply:Simply fill the bottles half full with clean water and put in microwave until the water boils.
The micro wave actually does kill bacteria and the boiling water will too.
I do it that way and have never had a problem
Reply:To sterilize empty jars, put them right side up on the rack in a boiling-water canner. Fill the canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes. Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time. Save the hot water for processing filled jars. Fill jars with food, add lids, and tighten screw bands.
