Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 5 cups

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
6 ounces fresh kumquats, quartered lengthwise (about 1 generous cup), seeds removed

1/2 cup golden raisins

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine sugar, 2 cups water, and kumquats in large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
