Best Kumquat Cello Recipes
KUMQUATS
Kumquats are entirely edible when ripe, rind and all (although the seeds should be removed). They may be eaten as is, with seeds removed, cut in half, or sliced thinly and used as a garnish for a meat platter or in salads.

KUMQUAT LIMONCELLO
For a unique spin on the perennially popular limoncello, replace the lemons with seasonal kumquats¿a winter citrus fruit that packs a lot of flavor into a tiny package. For a gorgeous presentation, package it in clear glass bottles so the fruit can shine through. This liqueur is traditionally served from the freezer, so make sure you choose a bottle with a resealable top.

Steps:
- Wash the kumquats well under hot water. Slice each in half and remove any seeds with the tip of a paring knife.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a full boil, then add the kumquats and sugar. Stir well and simmer over medium-low heat until the kumquats begin to look semi-translucent and the mixture is the consistency of maple syrup, about 15 minutes.
- Divide the candied kumquats among four 18-ounce wide-mouthed jars. Divide the grain alcohol among them to fill. Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks, but ideally 1 month. (The longer the liqueur ages, the better it will taste.)
MAGGIE'S LETHAL KUMQUAT LIQUEUR
This easy-to-make and delicious recipe is from my friend Maggie Smith-the Aussie, not the British, actress. Use the greater amount of kumquats to intensify the citrus flavour. Cooking time does not reflect the months needed for the liqueur to age fully.

Steps:
- Put the pricked kumquats, sugar and brandy in a jar that can be tightly sealed (should hold at least a litre). Store jar away from sunlight.
- Every day for the next 14 days, turn the jar over and back to distribute the sugar. You don't need to shake the jar.
- After the 14 days are up, keep turning the jar over and back at least once a week until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- When the sugar has dissolved, use tongs or a slotted spoon to gently remove the kumquats. Leave the liqueur to age in the jar.
- Dip these boozy kumquats in melted chocolate for a delicious treat with after-dinner coffee. Store in the freezer.
- Six months later, the liqueur is ready to be bottled and enjoyed. Maggie saves interesting-looking smaller bottles to use for gifts.
- Note: You can bottle the liqueur at three months (to give as a gift), but tell the recipient it is worth waiting the extra three months before tasting. The well-aged liqueur is thicker, sweeter and more syrupy.
