Kumquats

How interesting, I've never heard of these.

I've tasted them here mostly as garnishes.

Amazing that you can grow these Klahanie … I think they’re only available in tins in the UK 🙂.

Never tried them. I've heard of them but that's all. Do you eat the peel as you say it's sweet?

It looks like a small orange. I always thought they were sour. My neighbor has a pretty big kumquat tree in their front yard. I ate one once and it was very sour.

I don’t grow citrus because I used to get lemons, oranges and the variegated lemonade lemons from my neighbors.

My other neighbor used to give me all her lemons. She never used them.

I used to have a neighbor years ago, when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area who used to give me the most incredible, sweetest juicy tangerines. They tasted like candy. I’ve never tasted tangerines than good since.

I’ve definitely heard of the kumquat, but, never tried I don’t recall..maybe on holiday!

Lucky you Klahanie I have had them and liked them ... Our Grandson's girlfriend gave me a book for Christmas called ...The Little Book of Marmalade ... it's brilliant loads of recipes ,last week I tried Crystallizing Orange peel I'm afraid it didn't work out very well, Oops ,It's back to the drawing board ( or recipe book ) ...

Klahanie,

That sounds good. I love zucchini bread! 😂

The citrus at the beginning of the season was horrible! Now, it’s actually really good. I don’t know what the citrus treatment is to export the fruit to other states.
