Kumquat and orange jam

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 600 g kumquat(s), fresh
• 600 g sugar
• 1 sachet of gelling powder, 40 g
• 400 g orange(s) (pulp left over from juicing)
• 600 g orange juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Rest time approx. 13 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 14 hours 15 minutes

Wash fresh kumquats thoroughly and twist off the stems. Cut a crosswise cut in the kumquats, twist them off, and remove the seeds. Shred the halved kumquats and place them in a pan. Add the sugar and gelling agent and mix well. Leave to stand in a cool place overnight. Halve the oranges (approx. 1.5 kg of oranges yield the specified pulp and juice). Add the pulp and juice to the kumquats. Mix everything well again and let stand for another hour. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring well (risk of burning!), and bring to a boil until set. Pour into hot, rinsed jars, turn upside down for 10 minutes, and then let cool. The jam tastes delicious on homemade bread or buttered plaited bread.
