Kumquat Marmalade

Ingredients

• 8 oz. mandarinquats
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp. cardamom, ground

Directions

1. Wash the mandarinquats, scrubbing the rind well.

5. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 35 minutes.
6. Once the rind has simmered for 35 minutes, add 2 cups of sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved.
7. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the marmalade to a full boil for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that develops.

9. Pour the marmalade into a jar and allow to fully cool, uncovered at room temp.
10. When cooled, store in the fridge.
