CHEF JOHN'S KUMQUAT MARMALADE

If marmalade is not your favorite type of fruit preserve, it's most likely because of those bitter flavors from the white parts of whatever type of citrus was used. That is not an issue with this gorgeous kumquat marmalade.

Time 3h30m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups prepared kumquats
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
small pinch of cayenne
1 star anise (I removed it after 10 minutes of simmering)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Quarter kumquats lengthwise; cut off white center membrane and remove seeds. Slice quarters into small pieces.
  • Place kumquats into a pot. Add lemon zest (white part only), lemon juice, pinch cayenne, star anise, sugar, and water. Mix together. Cover and let sit at room temperature 2 or 3 hours to allow fruit to macerate. Or you can refrigerate overnight.
  • Place pot over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Continuing cooking and stirring often until mixture is thick enough so that if you scrape a spatula across the bottom of the pan, you can briefly see the bottom of the pan before marmalade spreads back out, 30 to 40 minutes. Mixture should reach a temperature of 215 to 220 degrees F (120 to 125 degrees C). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spoon warm marmalade into sterilized jars. Cover and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

I didn't even know what a kumquat was until my husband and I discovered them in southern Florida. Now I love using them for marmalade. I always get carried away making it and am happy to share! -Faye Robinson, Pensacola, Florida

Marmalade requires a bit more attention than jam-making, but you don't have to be an expert cook to make your own batch. Plus, it's the perfect project if you, like me, are getting itchy to start canning season.
