Recipe: Kumquat Vanilla Marmalade
Summary: Sweet-tart kumquats marry intense vanilla for a Dreamsicle-Creamsicle flavor. It’s wonderful on crackers with cheese or foie gras, liverwurst or a slice of prosciutto.
Ingredients
[1]2 cups whole kumquats (I used kumquats from Frieda’s Produce)- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon Heilala vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the kumquats (paper thin, skin AND flesh) and remove and discard seeds. Place kumquats, water and sugar in a medium pot. Heat until it reaches a boil, then turn heat down to simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding the vanilla bean paste halfway through.
- When done, the kumquats will be tender and the liquid will be thickened to a syrup.
- Remove from heat and scrape into a squeaky-clean lidded jar. Cool and refrigerate. (Note: this is not canned, so it is not able to stay on the pantry shelf but must be refrigerated.)
- Makes about 1 ¼ cups (+ or -).
