I have been addicted to pickling since I made a can of candied plums in spring (poof). As long as I have the right ingredients, I want to pickle everything.
However, when making this kind of pickled food, I always pay special attention to the hygiene and safety of ingredients, and try to buy trusted small farmers or organic products. This time, I just ordered a fruit and vegetable box from the green farmer. There is a lovely bag of kumquat in it. After two or three days, my skin turned yellow, sour and juicy, and I really liked the fresh and fruity taste of kumquat. But kumquat is really sour. Think about what is more suitable than dyeing Miss Kumquat with sweet honey? I immediately cut the package and made a can of honey kumquat.
Yes, order fruit and vegetable boxes delivered to your door. When I was an office worker, I liked the convenience of delivering fruits and vegetables to my door, which really helped me when I didn't have time to buy food. Now even though I am a full-time housewife, it is normal to go to the vegetable market, but I still like the fresh, safe and convenient delivery of fruits and vegetables. I am so happy to receive safe fruits and vegetables from small farmers all over the country at home. Every time I receive a box delivered by home delivery, I can't wait to open it as a gift and look at my babies as usual.
The fruits received this time are rich in season, big and beautiful. I chewed a banana as soon as I arrived, which was delicious. I ate another pear the next day. The juice was crisp and sweet, and it was safe and non-toxic. I was relieved. Hee hee, what is a housewife's job? Find something delicious for your family. Come on, miss kumquat!
Sprinkle some baking soda (or salt), rub the whole body to remove dirt from the epidermis, rinse it off, and then soak it in a basin of clear water for 20 minutes.
Miss Kumquat, put it on the balcony and let the surface moisture dry thoroughly. Natural citrus essential oil, shiny skin, really beautiful.
Take out a bottle of jade purse honey, wash the chopping board, knife and sealed glass bottle to dry, and you can start work.
If you want to keep the homemade WPA for a long time, remember to boil the container or disinfect it with ozone first, and then be sure to dry it thoroughly or dry it. Without a drop of raw water. First, remove the black tip of kumquat butter. Nobody wants to bite this.

Then cut the kumquat in half. The bigger one, cut into three and a half or four and a half. If you want to be more particular, cut it into thin slices. Whatever you like. I didn't remove the seeds very carefully. Some seeds will roll out by themselves when tangential cutting, and the seeds that are easy to remove on the surface will be removed. As for the seeds stuck in the meat, I am too lazy to remove them, and there are not many. It wouldn't be so bad if they were dyed together.
Come and bottle it!
Are you pretending? I'm pretending! I'm pretending! A housewife will talk to herself when doing housework alone. Please don't laugh. After packaging, pour honey to the extent that they can drown kumquat.
If kumquat floats by the buoyancy of honey, press it with a clean spoon so that every kumquat is stained with honey and marinated evenly.
Well, let's leave the rest of the work to time. Keep the jar in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, and wait for her to taste it when it is ripe.
Shake a little bottle every day to help kumquat and honey marinate more evenly.
The aroma, sweetness and sourness of pickled kumquat are combined with honey, and the original thick honey becomes water and water syrup. Hot summer lasts about four or five days, and winter lasts about a week. If you can't finish it in a short time, put it in the refrigerator. (The picture below shows what it looks like after seven days of pickling. )
Cooked kumquat with honey stains can be served with yogurt, ice cream, French toast, pancakes, soft cheese and lettuce salad. The simplest way to eat it is to mix some soda water with ice cubes to make honey kumquat bubble drink, or mix it with black tea to make fruit tea. Kumquat dipped in honey is not sour and can be eaten with the skin. The peel of kumquat is slightly bitter and sweet, which is the taste of adults.
After drinking this can of honey kumquat, summer will be over, and I look forward to the arrival of autumn.
