Candied Kumquats
Report
These candied kumquats are, quite simply, sliced citrus that's simmered in sweetness until tender and just like candy. And we can't get enough of 'em.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces Kumquat
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water cold
- 1/4 cup honey such as clover, mild
- 1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise and scraped
Instructions
- Trim the ends from the kumquats and discard. Slice the remaining kumquats into rounds 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Remove the seeds with the tip of your knife.
- Combine the sugar, water, honey, and the vanilla bean and seeds scraped from the vanilla bean in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, swirling occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Toss in the sliced kumquats. (Depending on the size of your pan, there may be barely enough liquid to cover the kumquats at this point. That’s okay. Just give the pan a good shake or press the slices down with a spatula to evenly submerge them.) Return the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes.
- Strain the kumquats and vanilla bean into a heatproof bowl or jar. Return the syrup to the pan and gently simmer over medium heat, frequently tilting the pan to swirl the syrup, until it bubbles thickly and measures about 1/2 cup (120 ml), about 10 minutes. Pour the syrup over the drained kumquats and vanilla bean and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled through. The candied kumquats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
