Honey Preserved Kumquats Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Honey preserved kumquats are a sweet and tangy treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts and cocktails. The kumquats are simmered in a simple syrup made with honey, water, and lemon juice, which helps to preserve their bright flavor and natural sweetness. The result is a deliciously sticky and slightly tart fruit that is perfect for adding a burst of citrus to any dish.
