- 1 pound kumquats ((more or less))
- 1 medium orange, (peeled- white pith removed, and chopped)
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar ((more or less))
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Steps
Rinse the kumquats and remove any stems. Slice the ends off of each kumquat and discard.
Cut each kumquat in half and carefully cut out white pith and seeds; discard.
Chop halved kumquats and pulp coarsely; place into a food processor along with the chopped orange. Pulse until the kumquats are chopped more finely and somewhat liquefied.
Measure the mixture at this point and pour it into a bowl. Add equal amounts of sugar to the kumquat mixture (ie. 2 cups of kumquat mixture will need 2 cups of sugar). Mix in sugar and add 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Microwave on high (uncovered) for 6 minutes, giving the mixture a chance to boil.
Stir, and continue to microwave in 2 minute bursts (stirring after each burst) for a total of 10 minutes.
Remove from microwave, stir and let cool at room temperature. The marmalade will thicken as it cools.
Keep marmalade in an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 2 months. Freeze for up to 6 months.
