Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Kumquats - seeds removed * sliced or chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice about 1 orange
  • 1/2 Cup Filtered Water
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste

Instructions

  • Combine kumquats, oj, water and sugar in a 3qt pot.
  • Heat over medium for 7-8 minutes or until mixture begins to boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium/low. Continue to lightly simmer while stirring frequently for 35 minutes**. (stir almost continuously the last 10 minutes)
  • Jam will be thick and coat the back of a spoon when done.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla paste.
  • Transfer to clean airtight container.
  • Serve warm or cold.
  • Refrigerate and use within 1 week.

Notes

*Sliced kumquats will produce a jam with a bit of chew. For traditional consistency, finely chop kumquats.
**35 minutes will result in a thick compote. Approximately 30 minutes for spreadable jam. And approximately 25 for a syrupy sauce.
Recipe yields 1½ Cups Kumquat Jam.
