Reply:Kumquats In Brown Sugar %26amp; Vanilla Bean Syru Directions

By cooking kumquats down with sugar and vanilla, the

bitterness is removed from the rind and they become a

tantalizing garnish or topping for sweet or savory

dishes.



Place the kumquats in a large saucepan and add water

to cover. Bring to a full boil and, when foam begins

to form on the surface, reduce the heat to medium.

Continue to cook for 10 min more. Drain the kumquats

and set aside.



In the same saucepan over a high heat, bring the water

to a gentle boil. Add the sugars, reduce the heat to

medium, and stir constantly until the sugars have

dissolved, about 3 min. Add the kumquats and vanilla

bean and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low

and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the

kumquats are transparent and soft, about 1 hour. Many

of the kumquats will have burst and their skins will

appear transparent.



Spoon the kumquats and syrup into a clean jar, let

cool, cover, and refrigerate. They will keep,

refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
