Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups kumquats (9 to 10 ounces), trimmed
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (3 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Prick kumquats 2 or 3 times with a sharp fork. Cover kumquats generously with cold water in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse with cold water, then repeat 2 more times (to remove bitterness).
  • Bring kumquats, sugar, and water (3/4 cup) to a boil in rinsed saucepan (liquid will not cover kumquats) over high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then reduce heat and gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool kumquats in syrup, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer kumquats with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving syrup in saucepan. Add cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon salt to syrup and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries burst, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • While cranberries cook, quarter kumquats lengthwise, discarding any seeds.
  • Stir kumquats into cranberry mixture and transfer to a bowl. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

This sauce was way too sweet for me. I ended up throwing it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sauce turned out runny. I had to cook it for an extra 30 minutes to thicken it up.

This sauce was a let down. It was bland and lacked flavor.

I found this sauce to be a bit too tart for my taste. I added a little bit of sugar to balance it out.

This sauce was fantastic! It was the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and it really complemented the roasted chicken I served it with. I'll definitely be making this again.
