One little fruit can pack a ton of sour that is for sure. And two of these people could eat sour skittles 24/7. Must be the taste of fresh fruit sour that turned them off. And then my dear husband who has no taste -- I mean really, his taste buds are not functioning at full human capacity, gave me this look. Whoa!
Aside from popping them in one by one and enjoying their sour, juicy, cruchiness, not sure what to do with them. I have been considering cutting them in half and putting them in with some bitter greens. Or maybe fennel and kumquat would be interesting...with black olives even better. A new take on my family's orange salad. I think I will try that.
As a child my grandfather in Southern California had a kumquat tree in his yard that I would pick clean during the summer when we would visit. I could eat a grocery bag full on the trip home. I would always save enough to make my friends try and loved the sight of them puckering from the sour taste. I still love sneaking one to try at the grocery store:) As for using them to make something. What about kumquatcillo?
