I followed the recipe the written recipe and it says to use the white part of lemon zest only. Please explain why the video is different and uses the actual peel zest and not what I would call the pith
You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me.
Take really tart kumquats, pierce them with a sewing needle and put them in a jar. Fill the jar with a good quality brandy and store in a dark cool place for a couple of weeks or more. Homemade Grand Marnier.
Maceration lets the juices that are locked up inside the cells of the plants out, by an osmosis reaction with the sugar. Not letting it sit will result in a final product that will thin out after time. Because the osmosis reaction will occur after the product is cooked.
Made this today and it turned out amazing. First time I ever made homemade marmalade--never knew it was so easy! Thanks for another amazing recipe, Chef John!
I have been watching your videos since the French Cherry Custard - Cherry Clafouti and you are the reason I love cooking. I am 28 now and have impressed many a date with the skills you have taught me! Thank you Chef John :)
I'm making kumquat-grapefruit marmalade as we speak! We got the kumquats and grapefruit in sunny San Diego on a recent trip. Our dear 88-year-old friend and neighbor said "kumquats make THE BEST MARMALADE EVER!!" I cannot wait to try this out. It is definitely labor-intensive to make, but so well worth it, I'm sure. I cut the kumquats to look like little circles and pushed my finger through the hole I'd made and pushed out the seeds and white pith at the same time and then cut those into strips and diced. TMI, I know, but who cares. I was able to get adorable little circles of flower-like kumquat pieces. Then I used the grapefruit instead of the lemon. It's kumquat marmalade for goodness sake, right? Thanks for the great video. Happy canning and cooking! :))P.S. I'm tasting as I make and it's amazingly good already.
Hey chef john, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into your recipes and video's. I'll be studying next year and untill a few months ago i didn't even know how to bake an egg. Thanks to your videos I've been cooking a lot lately and have really come to enjoy cooking meals for my family and friends. Once again thanks and have a nice day :)
My food wish is a techniques video with tips about safely thawing meat, warming plates before serving, and knife maintenance. Thanks for creating such a great channel!
Chef John says as he takes a generous taste of warm marmalade. For me this was an awesome episode. I had Kumquat Marmalade on a desert from Millwright's Restaurant & Tavern last week. For the first time my mouth wasn't watering, my mind was recalling!
Harvested kumquats over the past weeks and ate it as is, made some pickles and was out of easy options, until i came across this recipe. Have made jams previously, but this takes the cake. The cayenne pepper takes it to the next level. There was a very, very slight taste of the pepper because i added an extra pinch. Love a bit of spicyness. Next time i will start off with the marmelade and make it as it ripens on my two trees. Will definitely try the brandy one in the comments. Thanks chef
What an absolutely GORGEOUS recipe...and so timely, as my wee kumquat tree is beginning to fruit now! I am so excited to make this, and as usual, I love your sense of humour! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the best Kumquat marmalade recipe on the web. It‘s less complicated than others and best explained, with good alternatives and choices. You answered all my questions.
One of the simple joys of living in Florida is that it's just the perfect place to grow kumquats. And there are several varieties to grow, my favorite is the variegated quat, with white, green, yellow, and orange stripes. Instead of growing Valencia oranges or Indian River grapefruit to show your Florida resident colors, kumquats grow on much smaller and hardier compact bushes. So you can grow more of them! And the honey from kumquat flowers is *the* signature citrus honey, none better. Thanks for your recipe, Chef John, when my quats are ready here soon, quat marm will be made.
Did Chef John just say "I read in the comments people saying this is sooo much sugar. That [comment] is so dumb...I mean every time you make a jam or marmalade you need a lot of sugar. That's the deal." See 3:02. But at least he called you dumb in a nice, easy-going and melodious voice.
Found this vlog yesterday and today made the kumquat marmalade. Absolutely delicious and the scent in the house was divine too whilst it was all cooking on the stovetop. I have planted a kumquat tree and can’t wait to make more once our fruit is ready as this batch was made with fruit from a friends tree. Such an easy recipe and I used a cinnamon stick as suggested. I’m very chuffed. 😃 Thank you
I had a kumquat tree in a sunporch plant room in my former home. (Michigan) It needs lots of light and I got grow lights which I used 24/7. It prospered. When I moved into an assisted living, I put it into a bedroom with the grow light and it blossomed! So fragrant, so abundant! The downside happened though, I wanted to warn you. The blossoms dried up because of low indoor humidity. I bought a humidifier, but it's too late for this year, but I'm going to keep on trying. I hope you have success and get to know that the fragrance isn't just when it's cooking--try for the blossoms!
I just bought a house with a Kumquat tree and it produced a lot more than what I expected, so i'm definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe!
We have a kumkuat tree and can eat handfuls daily (addictive) but I only eat the skin. It is incredibly sweet this way. Some years sweeter than others - think it has to do with rain and cooler temps. Just a wonderful fruit and so much fun to tease kids with a dare to eat the peeled fruit. We make kumkuat jam, bread, topping for ice cream, etc. Thanks for this easy recipe.
Chef John, I can't wait to try this mermalade, it's macerating right now in the fridge, and I did add the pinch of cayenne! thanks a lot for the recipe! :)) I love your channel and your voice! 😁👍
I always enjoy your pre-emptive comment responses. Marmalade/Jam needs sugar to preserve! Same thing with frozen fruit, fruit frozen in a sugar syrup lasts longer than just frozen fruit on its own. Looks deeeeelicious. Kumquats are some of my faves!
The purpose of maceration is for sugar to start to cook the fruit so you wont have to leave it as long on the oven-top. The result is a more fresher taste since less cooking is required . I made your recipe as we had so many kumquat this year. I did omit the water and let it macerate overnight at room temperature. Lovely recipe thank you!
After he made the sugar statement, he dumped it in the pan, and I thought, "is that all?" I was expecting a couple pounds of sugar or something, lol. Looks delicious!
+Food Wishes I agree! I also think that macerating the fruit with sugar allows the moisture to pull away, and that helps with the cooking process. Certain fruits have a very high amount of pectin in them, making them great for jams and preserves.
I had no idea you could eat the kumquat skin and all. I never saw any of my friends enjoying this particular fruit and when I was a kid I just assumed it was an Italian thing. My grandfather grew just about everything we ate. He loved figs, kumquats.. and of course those deep purple and delicious wine grapes. I still have seeds from the 1920's from him... tomatoes, peppers.. etc. I just bought a really nice green house and I was told that those seeds will still grow despite their age. Does anyone else know this to be true? Thanks chef John, yet again I have learned something new from watching your channel. I definitely plan on trying this recipe. 😋
Just made kumquat marmalade using tart Nagami kumquats - turned out great! Yes, I found that it is especially good when spooned over vanilla ice cream.
Once again chef, whenever I am searching a recipe I don’t already know how to make …. You inevitably come up at the top of of the list. When I see that , I look no further. The reason? The recipe always comes out just right. I just got a gift from my daughter of a gallon of fresh kumquats from their tree in South Georgia US so I will give this a try. However because I cannot eat cane sugar I will use coconut sugar ( if it fails I won’t blame you but I do this substitute a lot and amazingly it often works our very well.) I just have to stir continuously with a wooden spoon. Thank you again Chef John and I want to publically say I have adjusted to your talking cadence and look forward to my next search. BTW your Potatoes Romanov and apple fritters are awesome! Marjorie from Georgia US👩🏻🍳
+albedo0point39 that rounded serrated knife is great for cutting fruit like this. A pointed serrated like a bread knife would tear, but this style is great for citrus.
So I followed this same recipe but instead of using kumquats, I used tamarind and made Tamarind marmalade! I had to make my own tamarind paste/concentrate and then add my ingredients for the marmalade. It was a labor of love, but it was worth the hard work! thanks Chef!!
Though it was time consuming, I made this recipe, and it is SO WORTH THE EFFORT! I adjusted the cayenne pepper (I like heat) and also added some cardamon along with the star anise. All I can say is DEE O LISH!!!!
Hey chef, big fan, you actually helped me make the choice to pursue culinary arts as a job, so much lover here my friend, I just wanna know if you could make a new video on how to make shredded beef? I know that sounds basic as all get out but that's the point because I wanna see how to make a basic batch of shredded beef so that I can use it for multiple recipes, it's just something to consider is all, thanks for reading!
Great recipe! Especially the tips for the correct consistency is just perfect! Thank you! I have one question, I got all the seeds out but it turns out to be a little bit bitter, any idea why?
who needs to introduce innuendo with a fruit like kumquat? I did not realize the seeds and pith were so easy to deal with. I had the misconception that the seed was like that of a persimmon, so I am grateful for Chef John's demonstration.
Probably not the same in other countries, but here in England: Marmalade: citrus, including peel. Jam: whole soft fruit or berries. Jelly: strained through a muslin jelly bag, so the result is perfectly clear.
