Chef John's Kumquat Marmalade Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups prepared kumquats

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

small pinch of cayenne

1 star anise (I removed it after 10 minutes of simmering)

1 cup white sugar

1 cup cold water

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Quarter kumquats lengthwise; cut off white center membrane and remove seeds. Slice quarters into small pieces.

Step 2

Place kumquats into a pot. Add lemon zest (white part only) lemon juice pinch cayenne star anise sugar and water. Mix together. Cover and let sit at room temperature 2 or 3 hours to allow fruit to macerate. Or you can refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Place pot over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a simmer stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Continuing cooking and stirring often until mixture is thick enough so that if you scrape a spatula across the bottom of the pan you can briefly see the bottom of the pan before marmalade spreads back out 30 to 40 minutes. Mixture should reach a temperature of 215 to 220 degrees F (120 to 125 degrees C). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Spoon warm marmalade into sterilized jars. Cover and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
