Kumquat is a fruit called “kinkan”, a small citrus fruit. Its juice is sweet and its skin is bitter. We eat as it is, with skin. We also cook in syrup so that kumquat’s skin becomes soft and sweet. This kumquat in syrup often a part of “osechi”, a special dish for the new year.
I freeze kumquat to shorten cooking time. It would be healthier if you use brown sugar.
