Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups kumquats (9 to 10 ounces), trimmed
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (3 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Prick kumquats 2 or 3 times with a sharp fork. Cover kumquats generously with cold water in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse with cold water, then repeat 2 more times (to remove bitterness).

Remove from heat and cool kumquats in syrup, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer kumquats with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving syrup in saucepan. Add cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon salt to syrup and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries burst, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • While cranberries cook, quarter kumquats lengthwise, discarding any seeds.
  • Stir kumquats into cranberry mixture and transfer to a bowl. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

CALENDAR GIRLS CURVACEOUS CRANBERRY AND KUMQUAT SAUCE WITH PORT



Calendar Girls Curvaceous Cranberry and Kumquat Sauce With Port image

I don't know if any of the Calendar Girls actually make this sauce, but it was published in the Woman's Institute Christmas Cookbook, so it is possible that they may have made it! This is my own recipe based on that WI recipe - vibrant, curvaceous and colourful plump fresh cranberries cooked with fresh kumquats, port and orange juice - then throw in a cinnamon stick just for good measure! If you are making this for children or those who don't drink alcohol, just leave out the port and add extra orange juice. This sauce will sit quite happily in the fridge - once made - for up to a week; it can also be frozen - just take it out the night before you need to serve it, and thaw it overnight, then gently reheat on the day.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a more tart and flavorful taste than frozen cranberries, making them the best choice for this sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick that it becomes difficult to pour.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. If you like a tart sauce, add less sugar. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more sugar.
  • Garnish the sauce with fresh thyme or rosemary: This will add a pop of flavor and color to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Cranberry kumquat sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken, pork, or fish. With its tart and tangy flavor, this sauce is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
