If I may add, I like to squeeze them first just until they start to get
droplets of oil on the skin. The oil is very sweet and will make the
kumquats less bitter. I used to have a kumquat tree (which are very
decorative) and used a lot of my harvests to candy them. I can't find the
recipe just now, but is pretty basic....using a simple syrup as I remember.
It produced a product like candied ginger. Probably any comprehensive
cookbook will have a recipe.
