Thanks for the inspiration! I just happen to have 3 pints of kumquats (from Walmart of all places: produce options are limited here in south central Kentucky, especially in winter) and my husband's birthday was yesterday (and he loves marmalade).<br /><br />Thank you! I'll be back to read more of your blog. I like it already.<br /><br />Best, Catherine PondCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361090241108323002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-41629528000642103912010-01-28T18:58:55.472-08:002010-01-28T18:58:55.472-08:00I've made jam for years, and this recipe looks...I've made jam for years, and this recipe looks interesting, but it would really help to measure the fruit precisely at each stage because "pints" of fresh fruit vary so much in weight, and the proportions of fruit, water, and sugar can be critical to a good outcome. cooks.com & allrecipes have more specific recipes to help the beginner jam maker, but the vanilla bean sounds intrigueing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-73728181970921857702009-12-27T17:29:34.223-08:002009-12-27T17:29:34.223-08:00Just made the marmalade as directed and it is DELI...Just made the marmalade as directed and it is DELICIOUS!<br />However, it ended up with slightly less than what you ended up with:<br />4 jelly jars and 1 pint<br />Hmmmm.

Now I live in the southern Rockies, but I still make kumquat marmalade. I like the idea of adding a vanilla bean; sort of a marmalade/fruit butter cross pollination. <BR/><BR/>Kumquat trees are easy to grow in containers, and when grafted onto dwarf rootstock they stay about 4 feet tall or less. I got two at a local greenhouse about 15 years ago, and every year I harvest enough kumquats to make marmalade for me, my family & friends. I keep the trees inside during the winter and outside in the summer, so I don't have to hand-pollinate the flowers. Fourwinds growers sells dwarf kumquat trees online too. I like the Nagami variety, because it's easy to peel and a little bitter. Meiwa is nice, but sweeter and not as intense a flavor. <BR/><BR/>Fourwinds also has Seville orange trees. I got two from them a couple of years ago. The Seville orange trees are kind of young yet, but I've gotten fruit off of them already. They're blooming now (mid-March) indoors, so I hand-pollinate the flowers with a Q-tip. The fruit won't be ripe until early next year, but they are full sized and make great marmalade.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-34652774887859163202009-03-02T21:20:00.000-08:002009-03-02T21:20:00.000-08:00This looks delicious - thank you for posting the r...This looks delicious - thank you for posting the recipe!Geek+Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363067457633606939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-80566423111829367572009-02-26T08:04:00.000-08:002009-02-26T08:04:00.000-08:00Hey Northwest Mom: it's not a template!
