Kumquats

Here is another bounty from my garden, kumquats.

Kumquats are known as “little golden gems of the citrus family”. I not only like to pop them in my mouth, I also like to use them in my flower arrangements or simply enjoy a bowl of kumquats on my kitchen table. I feel it is the nature's best candy.

Kumquats have a very distinctive taste. It is the only citrus fruit that can be eaten with the skin. The peel is the sweetest part of the fruit, whereas the pulp is a little sour. When you eat them together, it tastes sweet and sour. Did I mention that it has seeds just like an orange?

Yep, it is that time of the year to make kumquat preserves.
