How To Make candied kumquats

Step 2Remove kumquats from water and drain in colander, reserve water.

Step 3In a LARGE pot with high sides ( this stuff will bubble and foam up high!), combine sugar, 1 1/3 cup of kumquat water, and rose water. Bring to a boil, until temperature reaches 225 degrees on candy thermometer.
