Kumquat Compote 2 Ingredients: 1 3/4 pounds kumquats 2 cups ultra fine sugar Juice of 1 tangerine Juice of 1 lemon Cooking Instructions: Rinse and brush kumquats under cold water. Discard ends. Cut them in half. Remove the seeds and place in small cheesecloth bag (I use Japanese tea bags). In a preserving pan, combine kumquat halves, sugar, lemon and orange juice along with the little bag containing the seeds. Bring to a simmer. Pour into glass dish, cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, with a small spoon, remove any loose seeds and pithy detritus from the preparation before returning to a simmer, stirring gently. Check for taste. Skim (there will be hardly any scum if none at all). Continue cooking in medium high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove cheesecloth with seeds. Stir and skim again if needed. Cook for 5 minutes more, while stirring. Return to a rapid boil for about 1 minute. Pour the hot compote into sterile working or jam jars. The compote will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate. |

Cranberry Kumquat Compote Ingredients: 1/4 pound kumquats (about 10) A 12-ounce bag fresh or unthawed frozen cranberries (about 3 1/2 cups) 1 cup water 1 cup sugar Cooking Instructions: With a sharp thin knife thinly slice kumquats crosswise, removing seeds. Pick over cranberries. In a small saucepan bring water with sugar to a boil and simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved, 5 minutes. Add kumquats and simmer 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer kumquats to a bowl. Add cranberries to syrup and simmer 10 minutes. Cool mixture completely. (Cranberry mixture and kumquats may be made 3 days ahead and chilled in separate airtight containers - so kumquats will retain their color). Just before serving, stir kumquats into cranberry mixture. |
