Kumquat (recipes)


A small citrus fruit originating in central China but now cultivated in the Far East, Australia and America. Kumquats - sometimes called Chinese oranges - can be eaten whole, including the skin, or used for pickling and preserves. They' re as sharp in taste as lemons. Choose small, shiny fruits. Wash and eat them whole, poach them in sugar syrup and serve with ice cream, or use in a fruit salad. They' re particularly good in stuffings for poultry.Spiced kumquats
