Ingredients
2 cups fresh kumquats
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8-1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
1/8 cup water
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
Cut the kumquats in half lengthwise and remove any seeds. Cut in half again lengthwise and then chop crosswise.
Place kumquats in a small saucepan with the lemon juice. Stir to combine and place over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add 1/8 cup of sweetener and water, and cinnamon stick if using.
Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the fruit is very soft and broken down. Carefully remove the cinnamon stick with tongs. Simmer uncovered until the marmalade has reached the desired thickness. You may want to add more sweetener, depending on how sour your kumquats were to begin with.
Let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
