Kumquat Preserves Recipe

1 quart fruit to 1 pint sugar



Cut the Kumquats into halves, pick out seeds, cover with cold water and

bring to a boil. In the meantime have your syrup boiling--1 pint sugar

to 3 pints water.



Drain fruit and put in syrup and simmer slowly for 1 hour. Take out

fruit and continue to simmer syrup until it begins to get thick.



Put the fruit into syrup--place preserving kettle in pot of boiling

water and let them, or let the water continue boiling until syrup is

thick as you like it. Put 1/4 teaspoon fine salt in first water, as it

adds a fine flavor. Grate stem off skin deep.
