kumquats are tricky little blighters... Once you discount the skin and the seeds there isn't much left so what can you do if you want to cook with them?
I have a suggestion that won't have you bent over a bucket of sour little orange fruits.
Cut or break your kumquats in half and throw then in a pot. You want at least enough to cover the bottom but it doesn't matter if they are several layers deep.
Add just enough water that the top layer just floats and put into a low heat.
Simmer for about an hour then strain the whole mess through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve (you will want to squish and push them around to get the most liquid out)
Now decant your concentrate into clean, sterilised jars or bottles and you're done!
A quarter cup is roughly equal to the juice and zest of two lemons.
