Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Cinnamon Kumquat Preserves.
Step 1
Start by giving your kumquats a good wash to remove any dirt or residue.
Step 2
Next, grab a non-aluminum saucepan and toss the kumquats in, covering them with fresh water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let the kumquats simmer gently for about 30 minutes.
Step 4
This step is key, as it helps soften the fruit and brings out their delightful flavor.
Step 5
Once they’re nice and tender, sprinkle in some sugar and a dash of ground cinnamon, stirring everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Bring the mixture back to a boil and let it bubble away for another 5 minutes.
Step 7
This will create a lovely syrup that enhances the kumquats' natural sweetness.
