I have 2.6kg of kumquats sitting at home, waiting to be turned into jam and pickles and preserves. If I don't do it soon (liked today/tomorrow), they're gonna be all rotted and mouldy.
Oh, I should make a kumquat cake tonight for bible study, maybe?
Kumquat Bundt Cake with glaze
candied kumquats
kumquat meringue pie (curd recipe included)
Funny story about how I got them:
1. Make peach and bourbon jam - about four jars, way more than you can eat.
2. Swap one jar of jam for "seville oranges".
3. Discover that "seville oranges" actually means "2+kg seville oranges"
4. Make seville orange marmalade - about 6 jars, waaaaaaay more than you can eat.
5. Still have seville oranges left over.
6. Swap the seville oranges for "kumquats".
7. Discover that "kumquats" actually means "2.6kg kumquats"
And I still have half a dozen jars of preserves that I am not actually going to manage to eat.
(What I really want right now? Pickled/brined olives.)
