8 c. Kumquats, sliced into wagon wheels and seeded
4 c. Sugar
2 c. water
Note: if you love it spicy, add 1/4 c. Habaneros
Macerate kumquats in sugar a few hours or overnight.
Add water and bring to boil. I usually try to bring it to 220 degrees but found 115 was sufficient
Pour into jars. Turn jars over for 5 minutes to help lids seal. Turn turn upright. Set aside to cool.
Makes about 6 half pints.
Note: 1 qt. of kumquats equals 1 lb.
