Wow, a kumquat tree. You are one lucky woman, Janet. It turned out great–lightly citrus-y but different than limoncello orangecello. The only thing I would do differently is add a little more sugar to make it more liqueur-ish and less strong. I did not rough up the skins, just macerated them.

You can absolutely eat them after macerating. Yum! Try them on pound cake or ice cream. Delish. What about trying kumquat salsa? Try my recipe here: http://www.mizchef.com/2009/04/more-with-kumquats/

Have fun with your kumquat tree. And feel free to post here about your adventures.

(By the way, sorry it took so long to reply. I thought I had earlier but my response did show up.)

I just inherited a kumquat tree loaded with fruit. I want to make kumquatcello like you did. How did it turn out? would you do something different.

these are sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside but eatten whole are pretty good.
Did you rough up the skins first? Could you eat the fruit after they were maridaded?
thanks for you help.

I’ve had a creamy limoncello and I think (not sure) they made the limoncello and emulsified with heated cream. Thanks for the Twitter message, unfortunately it’s not my job yet, I’m still trying to make it happen. But when it does, I too think it’ll be the coolest. Thanks!

Thanks! A creamy version, huh? I hadn’t even thought of that. I’ll bet that it would be quite delicious. I’ll have to look into that.

I think this is brilliant; it sounds amazing. Do you have any idea how to make a creamy version?

Hi, Jo! Tell Sue they’re really easy to make. As for the liqueur–SUPER easy. Takes no time at all. I wish I could send everyone I know a sample. LOL

I just need to persuade Sue to make these things for me. Although, I may consider the alcoholic drink one myself. Somehow, if it ends up being drunk, it doesn’t seem like cooking to me so I may tackle it when we’re settled. Great site btw.
