Time 13h15m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 kumquats, rinsed and thinly sliced
2 oranges - rinsed, sliced and seeded
9 cups white sugar, or as needed
2 lemons, juiced
8 cups water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Finely chop the kumquats and oranges, combine them, and measure them into a large pot. Add 3 cups of water per each cup of fruit. Let stand in a cool place for 12 hours, or overnight.
  • Bring the fruit mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the rind is very tender. Remove from heat, and measure cooked fruit. Add one cup of sugar to the pot for every cup of the fruit mixture. Mix in the lemon juice, about 1/4 cup.
  • Return the fruit to the pan, and bring to a boil once again. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the gel stage is reached (the temperature of the marmalade should be between 220 to 222 degrees F, or 105 degrees C when checked with a kitchen thermometer.) Remove from heat, and skim foam from the surface.
  • Transfer the mixture to sterile jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace, and seal immediately. Process any unsealed jars in a water bath for 10 minutes. Refrigerate after seal has been broken.

I love this marmalade! It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the kumquats give it a unique flavor. I've been spreading it on toast and scones, and it's also great as a glaze for chicken or fish.

This is the best marmalade I've ever had. It's so flavorful and delicious. I love the way the kumquats and oranges balance each other out. I've been eating it on toast every morning, and I'm always looking for excuses to use it.

I'm not a huge fan of marmalade, but this recipe changed my mind. The kumquats and oranges give it a really interesting flavor that I love. I've been eating it on toast and crackers, and I'm thinking about using it as a glaze for ham.

This kumquat orange marmalade was a hit! The flavor was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and the texture was just right. I loved the addition of the orange zest, which gave it a bright citrus flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
