Candied kumquats are a sweet and tangy treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts. The kumquats are simmered in a simple syrup until they become tender and translucent. The syrup infuses the fruit with a delightful sweetness, while the kumquats retain their bright citrus flavor. These candied kumquats make a beautiful garnish for cakes, tarts, and cocktails, and can also be enjoyed as a snack or added to salads for a burst of flavor.
