Kumquat Marmalade and Pancakes
My first try making jelly/marmalade. Since I only used 1/9th (!)* of the sugar it suggested (somewhere
online) I was okay with the consistency (like thick syrup ).
Kumquat Marmalade:
26 Kumquats
2 Oranges
~3 cups water
Juice from one lemon
1 cup sugar (*the recipe online asked for 9 cups –
seriously?)
Cut kumquats and oranges into small pieces (I got rid of the
orange peel). Add to large pot with 3 cups of water. Let’s soak for about one
hour. Bring to boil and boil until peels are soft. Add the sugar and the lemon
juice and return to boil. Let simmer
until wanted consistency is reached.
Pancakes:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
A little sugar and one package vanilla sugar
Add mineral water until “pancake batter” consistency is
reached (I always use milk, but ran out of milk yesterday morning so tried the
mineral water – it didn’t change the taste at all)
Add all ingredients together and make pancakes :) Top with
kumquat jam.
Guten Appetit!
