Today was a great day. I peeked my head around the side of the house and AHHA! My kumquat tree is getting ready to fruit!

This might not seem joyful to you, my dear stalkers readers, but to me it is utter bliss.

I have been planning to make kumquat marmalade since last fall. I am a huge fan of canning and look forward to new recipes that keep me in the goodies. I mean, yummy non-perishables on the shelf is like money in the bank. We are anti-Adkins Diet freaks in this household, so bread is our staple of choice. Anything you can slather on it is so choice!

Kumquats are to die for (not quite like fresh-from-the-tree figs, though nothing in this world is that great) and the prospect of making something new thrills me to no end.

Imagine the bursting sweet goodness married with the tart snap of the skin...

Love that shit!
