Kumquat Jam
Main Ingredients: Kumquats, Sugar, Orange Juice, Water, Vanilla Extract
Last but not least, we have a classic kumquat jam recipe. This simple and delicious jam is perfect for using up a surplus of kumquats and it pairs perfectly with your beer can chicken. You can also use it as a filling for cakes or thumbprint cookies, or mix it into yogurt for a tasty breakfast option.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of kumquats
- 2 cups of water
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
To start, wash and dry the kumquats thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove any seeds. Next, in a large pot, combine the kumquats, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the kumquats are soft and translucent.
While the kumquats are simmering, prepare your jars for canning. Wash them in hot, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. Then, sterilize them by placing them in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Once the jars are sterilized, carefully remove them from the water and let them dry on a clean towel.
Once the kumquats are done simmering, carefully pour the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool. As the jam cools, you will hear a popping sound, indicating that the jars have been properly sealed.
After the jam has cooled, store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least a week before consuming. This will allow the flavors to develop and the jam to thicken. Once opened, store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
This preserved kumquat jam is not only great on toast or scones, but it can also be used as a glaze for meats or a topping for ice cream. The possibilities are endless! Give this recipe a try and experience the unique flavor of preserved kumquats in your next Chinese-inspired dish.
