Kumquats
 
3 cups kumquats
2 cups water
3 cups sugar
 
Place kumquats and water in a saucepan and boil for 30 minutes.
Add the sugar, boil for another 10 minutes then turn off the heat.
Leave overnight. Next day bring the mixture to the boil, but be
careful it does not burn. As soon as it starts to bubble turn off
the heat and leave the fruit in the syrup until cool.

You can then cover the kumquat candies in chocolate, use them to
decorate cakes , or just eat them plain as an after-dinner treat.
