Follow-up to Candied Kumquats

[hrj]

The candied kumquats were a big hit at the Saluminati meeting at Beltane. They got nicknamed "jam bombs" because they held together fairly well until you bit into them and then they exploded into a smear of marmelade in your mouth. I definitely need to do another batch. (Bigger.) I think I can do without the pricking, but they're definitely going to end up as a "wet sweet" rather than a dry one. So I think I'll put them up in cup or pint mason jars.

They sound a little reminiscent of Greek spoon sweets!

they were great. Maybe one little prick each, just to keep them from exploding while they cook.

They sound very good!

Since I still need to snip off the stem end, that should take care of explosion prevention.
