| Does anyone have a recipe for candied Kumquats with info for processing? The ones that I have looked at are just for cold storage. I would like to be able to give some as gifts. Thanks! |

| A candied fruit doesn't really need processing. They're so thoroughly infused with sugar they'll hold easily at a reasonably temperate or cool room temperature for a good year or two. This gives you the freedom to choose attractive containers and not have the fuss or limitations of processing. If the recipients live in a hot and humid area or just want the security of assured optimal quality for the longest possible time, they can toss them in the freezer. Having said that, if you really want to process the kumquats, I'd just use the time for jams and preserves - 10 minutes for 8-oz. jars. Another option would be to vacuum seal using the jar attachment, if you have a foodsaver or similar. Carol |
