How to make kumquat syrup
Start by slicing the kumquats and removing the seeds.
Place sliced kumquats, sugar and water in a pot and cook over medium heat until boiling. Cook about 5 minutes more, then remove from heat. Use the side of a spoon to smash the kumquats to release as much of that kumquat flavor you can.
Strain out the kumquat pulp and store syrup in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Where to use it
Kumquat syrup is great in the usual places you might use any simple syrup recipe. Tea, cocktails, brushed over pastries or even added to some club soda with ice for a refreshing homemade soda.
