Kumquat Marmalade image

I first heard of kumquats when I moved to Australia in 1982 -- and then I discovered that my neighbours had an abundant supply. Fruit shouldn't go to waste, so I adapted this recipe from 'The Complete Book of Fruit' by Leslie Johns and Violet Stevenson. I have successfully doubled and tripled this recipe, but you will probably need to cook it longer to reach the jelling point. Time does not include overnight standing.

Time 1h45m

Yield 2 1/4 cups, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups kumquats, sliced (some seeds removed)
4 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 -2 tablespoon brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the kumquats and put them in the water (in a pan that can be used on the stovetop). Let this stand overnight.
  • The next day, put the pan on the stovetop and boil the fruit until it is tender. Then pour the fruit mixture into a bowl and let stand for another night.
  • On the third day, transfer the fruit/water mixture to a cooking pot and add 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Add brandy if used. Boil this mixture until it jells (about 45 minutes).
  • Pour into warm, sterilised jars and seal. Or use a processing method you prefer.

I found that the marmalade was a bit too sweet for my taste. I added a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
