I like the flavor and vitamin C content of kumquats,
but fresh ones are a bit hard and too zesty to eat, the traditionally salt
pickled one is too salty and cannot eat much.
This is a good compromise, ready in a day,
slightly softened, with flavor enhanced and with all vitamins undamaged.
1. Cut 4 lines through the skin of kumquats
from top to bottom, add a little salt and a lot of sugar to cover the bottom
1/4 of the fruit, add lime or lemon juice to cover to half height of the fruit.
2. Stir the fruits around in the mixture
every half hour, taste to adjust salt/sugar level to your liking.
3. Kumquats become soft gradually, can
press with the back of spoon to squeeze some of their juice out to take in more
seasoning.
4. Ready to eat the next day, keep in the
fridge. Dilute the soaking liquid with water or soda for a refreshing healthy
drink.
