Kumquat sauce
Main ingredients: kumquat, rock sugar, honey
Detailed production steps
1. Rinse the kumquat first, and then soak it in salt water for more than 15 minutes, which can effectively remove impurities and residual pesticides from the epidermis.
2. Drain the soaked kumquats and cut them in half, just pick the exposed seeds. Although kumquat seeds have a high edible value, they contain too many seeds, each has about 5-6 seeds, and you can simply remove a few, otherwise the pot will be full of kumquat seeds.
3.1 pounds of small kumquats, I only used 200 grams of rock sugar.
4. Add purified water, the amount of water should exceed the ingredients.
5. After the water boils, turn to low heat and cook for 1 hour.
6. After boiling for 30 minutes, the soup begins to thicken, and you can still smell a burst of sweetness.
7. Then cook for another 30 minutes, and when the soup becomes thick, stir constantly with a spoon to avoid chopping the pot. Turn off the heat for an hour, and the kumquat becomes soft and sweet.
8. After cooling, add 50ml of honey to mix, the taste is better. Because honey is a natural preservative, it lasts longer.
The finished kumquat paste is packed in a waterless and oil-free jar and refrigerated, so you can not only eat it directly, but also soak it in water and drink it. The child especially likes it, go to school and put 2 spoons of kumquat sauce in the thermos cup, which is delicious and nutritious, moistens the lungs and relieves cough, and prevents colds.

After the kumquat paste is cooled, you must remember to put honey, which not only tastes good, but is also a natural preservative.
