Time 12h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound kumquats
⅔ cup water
3 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Inspect four 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until needed. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Rinse kumquats; cut in half and remove seeds. Place in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
  • Combine kumquats and water in a saucepan. Stir in pectin and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar and vanilla; return to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat; skim off foam. Ladle hot mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
