Centerpiece from the orchard

These adorable kumquats make a beautiful centerpiece during the winter months. I am liking this centerpiece even more right next to my favorite maiden fern. Don't you love the contrasting between the bright green and orange? 
For those of you who have never eaten a kumquat, it is a tiny citrus fruit. The entire fruit is edible and the best part of the fruit is the rind. During the season, I keep popping them in the mouth all day.





For more memorable centerpieces, tablescapes, and recipes (including vegetarian, gluten free and vegan recipes), please check out my book, Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen, at my website komalinunna.com.
