Title: Kumquats
Post by: pepsi100 on March 28, 2024, 23:40

My Kumquats have really come along really well
I was hoping for a few this year, but I went away for a week or so and came back to find this lot on there
Certainly a bit beyond my expectations
Now hat am I going to do with all these ?

Yes, a good problem,
But what do I do with them ?

There are loads of ideas if you google for them - kumquat liqueur, marmalades, chutneys and using in just general recipes.

This sounds like an easy jam one for starters

Never tried jam making, might be a bit like a Seville orange marmalade
