Street to sweet, part 2 - Candied kumquat. I canned most of them for future use but kept a few out to eat dried. Ginger cut into fun shapes to spice things up!

Street to sweet! Urban foraged citron, candied. This fruit is extremely bitter even after being candied! The first pice I had was very intense but now I can’t stop eating them.

Kumquat harvest before New Orleans is hit by potentially historic winter conditions! I’ve been monitoring this tree for some time now 🍊 While kumquat trees are considered relatively cold hardy, it’s best to harvest before a cold snap to preserve the quality of the fruit.
