Kumquat Con t

I wanted to come up with a delicious way to eat and store kumquats....

Ingredients
15
150 grams
300 grams
1 tbsp

Kumquats (about 300 g)

Granulated sugar (about 50%
of the kumquats)
Water (double the amount of
the sugar)
Cointreau

Method
1 Wash the kumquats well and remove the stems. Slice each
kumquat into 4 or 5 slices and remove the seeds.

2 Boil the sugar and water, then add the kumquats. Simmer for
about 20 minutes over low-medium heat.

3 Once they've softened, turn off the heat, then let sit as-is
overnight. Don't use a lid so that moisture can evaporate.

4 The kumquats will sink when they absorb the sugar well. Heat
again to preserve it.

5 Once it begins to boil, immediately turn off the heat and add the
Cointreau.

6 Transfer into containers while still hot, soaking in the syrup, and
store.

7 It's also delicious when used right away. The syrup is delicious as
well.
