This kumquat marmalade is a unique and delicious recipe. If marmalade is not your favorite type of fruit preserve, it's most likely because of those bitter flavors from the white parts of whatever type of citrus was used. That is not an issue with this gorgeous kumquat marmalade.
Ingredients
- 2 cups prepared kumquats
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 star anise , I removed it after 10 minutes of simmering
- small pinch of cayenne
Instructions
-
1
Quarter kumquats lengthwise; cut off the white center membrane and remove seeds.
-
2
Slice quarters into small pieces.
-
3
Place kumquats into a pot. Add sugar, water, lemon zest (white part only), lemon juice, star anise, and a pinch of cayenne; mix together. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 2 or 3 hours to allow fruit to macerate. Or you can refrigerate overnight.

Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Continuing cooking and stirring often until mixture is thick enough so that if you scrape a spatula across the bottom of the pan, you can briefly see the bottom of the pan before marmalade spreads back out, 30 to 40 minutes. Mixture should reach a temperature of 215 to 220 degrees F (100 to 105 degrees C). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.

Spoon warm marmalade into sterilized jars. Cover and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Creamy Spiced Coleslaw
This creamy coleslaw recipe made with celery seed, onion powder, and garlic powder has lots of flavor. The seasonings complement each other and the cabbage. Sometimes I add fresh minced onion if I'm in the mood to chop it up. My family and friends love this coleslaw, especially with barbecue sandwiches and Italian dishes.
Miso-Glazed Black Cod
This is my take on miso-glazed black cod, made famous by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides — I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the meat flakes easily and the bones pull out with no effort.
Moroccan Lentil Soup with Veggies
This delicious lentil soup with vegetables is fun and easy to make. My family and I have been trying to eat healthy, so I started adding veggies to all my soups. You can modify it in many ways — add your favorite cooking oil, as well as any greens you like. Serve with toasted rosemary bread. Yum!
