Kumquat (Kinkan) Marmalade

Yesterday I picked all the rip Kumquat (Kinkan) and made Marmalade. I got roughly 1.1kg (2.4lbs) of fruit, which made three small jars of Marmalade.

How to Make Kumquat Marmalade

The weight of the Kumquats after final preparation is necessary to know in order to measure the amount of the other ingredients. In this case the final weight of the Kumquats was roughly 1000 grams after I removed the seeds.

What you'll need:

1. Kumquats
2. Sugar 400 grams (40% the weight of the Kumquats)
3. Honey (optional - 2 tablespoon)
4. Water 1000 grams/ml (same weight as the Kumquats)

How to Prepare:

1. Wash the fruit thoroughly 
2. Slice the Kumquats in half and remove seeds
3. Slice the Kumquats as thin as possible to include the peel
4. Add all ingredients into a sauce pan, cook on low heat, and stir frequently
5. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the desired thickness is reached
6. Remove and let cool. Marmalade will be thicker when cool, so do not over cook

Wash Thoroughly
Cut in half and remove the seeds
Thinly Slice
Add all ingredients and cook over low heat
Cook to desired thickness
Let cool and store the Marmalade in the refrigerator
