Half of one good sized laundry detergent bucket equals six cups of
kumquat puree. We just put them in the freezer in vacuum bags, clearly
marked "KQ 1-cup 12/4/10". Stacked flat they take up a space about 1.5
inches thick by six inches square. Once I get one of the wee baskets in
the freezer empty I will stack them in that.

Miz Anne is getting ready to deseed and slice another half-bucket,
should be pretty close to six cups again. I see lots of kumquat bread,
pudding, cookies, cakes, pies, waffles, and pancakes in our future.

The helluva it is, the trees are still loaded.

Give them away or sell them to a local grocer (unless everyone in town
also has a glut of them.)
