Earl Grey and Kumquat Marmalade
Ingredients:
- 6 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1 pound 450g kumquats, thinly sliced and seeds removed
- 3 cups 600g granulated sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1/2 cup 120ml water
Instructions:
Add water to a large saucepan and add the sliced kumquats
After bringing to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer for ten minutes, or until the kumquats become tender
To the saucepan, add the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, and orange zest
After the sugar has dissolved, stir
Tie the strings of the Earl Grey tea bags together so they can be removed easily later and add them to the mixture
Stirring occasionally, simmer the mixture over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it thickens to the consistency of jam
Take out and throw away the Earl Grey tea bags
While the marmalade is still hot, transfer it to sterilized jars
Once the jars are sealed, allow them to cool fully
After cooling down, keep the Kumquat Marmalade and Earl Grey in a cool, dark place
Savor it as a condiment or on toast
