Method for making kumquat jam
The practice of kumquat crystal sugar to relieve cough
First, clean up kumquat.
Kumquat must be eaten with skin. A small nutrition is almost concentrated on the skin. The peel is fragrant and often used as dessert. After peeling, there is little pulp. So you need to clean your skin first. Cut the stem of kumquat to the innermost part, rinse it with water first and then knead it. Then put it in salt water and scrub it with salt again, so that the sprayed pesticides can be removed and all uneven dirt on the surface can be removed, which is safe to eat.
Second, boil kumquat.
Cut each kumquat in half, and the jam will be richer. Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking to the bottom. Boil the rock sugar with water in the pot, simmer and keep stirring, and add kumquat when the rock sugar is completely melted. Turn high heat to boil a lot of bubbles, then turn it to medium heat, let it cook until thick soup, and control the time according to the amount of cooking, about half an hour.

Every time you want to eat, dig out two spoonfuls of soaked water from it and the pulp can be eaten directly. Cooked kumquat has a stronger taste, softer skin and good taste.
