Kumquats - Bottled sunshine

Two winters ago was the first time I laid my eyes on little kumquats. I found these miniature orange-like citrus fruits on a tree in McGregor. I picked a whole bag full and immediately when we got home started googling a kumquat marmalade recipe. Sadly, the recipe called for only 34 (or so) of these little babies and I had a bag containing hundreds! I gave the rest away hoping they will be put to good use. Here is one of the bottles of sunshine they produced after hours of labour in removing the tiny little seeds....oooh so worth the kumquat bonding session! Yum!
