Kumquat Recipes

Marion Said:

I don't understand. I go to store to ask for kumquat and they all laugh at me. Why kumquat so funny?

We Answered:

Because the teenagers are not smart.

Kumquats are tiny citrus fruits, so ask the people working in the produce area. Or a store manager.

can youmake wine from kumquats anyone have a recipe?

We Answered:

Kumquat Wine
2-1/2 lbs kumquats
2-1/2 lbs ripe bananas
3-1/3 lbs granulated sugar
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1/8 tsp tannin
7 qts water
Lalvin AC or 71B-1122 wine yeast
The bananas should be very ripe. Slice the bananas, peels and all, into 1/2-inch slices in a 3-qt pot. Add half the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove scum from surface and set aside to cool some. Put remaining water in another pot and bring to boil. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Meanwhile, cut kumquats in half crosswise and put in nylon straining bag, removing any seeds cut during halving. Save juice released during cutting and put in primary. Tie bag and squeeze in primary to release as much juice as you can. Leave bag in primary and pour sugar-water over it. Strain bananas through nylon sieve, adding the water to primary. When cool, add pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and tannin and stir to dissolve. Cover primary and wait 12 hours. Add activated yeast and recover. Squeeze bag twice daily for 5 days. Remove bag and squeeze well, adding drained juice to primary. Recover and set aside 5 additional days. Rack into sterilized secondary and fit airlock. Rack after 60 days, top up and refit airlock. Rack again after additional 60 days, stabilize, sweeten to taste, top up and refit airlock. After 10 days, rack into bottles and allow to age 6-12 months. Will continue mellowing with additional aging.

Mediterranean diet. What do you really know about!?

We Answered:

Actually when we talk about "Mediterranean diet" we don't refer to Moroccan or, Spanish or Israeli or French food! Though they are mediterranean countries.
The study which ended with the publication of an article proposing the " Mediterranean diet" was based on researches made in South Italy and Crete island . It showed the beneficial influence of olive oil associated with the consumption of a lot of vegetables and fruits, cereals, cheese and only some meat.

Norma Said:

When using Kumquat, does it have to be peeled?

We Answered:

i don't know about its uses for cooking, but i've been to my uncle in houston's house many times and they have bunches of kumquat trees...and i've watched everyone pop them in whole. so you don't have to eat them whole.
