Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 8 ounces fresh kumquats - sliced
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 4 slices fresh ginger "coins" - see photos
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur - optional

Instructions

  • Slice kumquats. If they're small, this may be in half. If they're large, you may want as many as 4. Refer to Post photos.
  • De-seed the kumquats using a paring knife. This is optional. Refer to Post Instructions.
  • Dissolve the sugar in the water by bringing to a boil. Simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the sliced kumquats, the sliced ginger, and the whole spices. Simmer until the kumquats are tender (about 15 minutes).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, and allow the mixture to completely cool. Add the orange liqueur if using.
  • Remove the ginger "coins" and the spices. Serve immediately, or refrigerate.
