Buyer's guide

Choose small shiny kumquats. These fruits are at their peak in winter.

Preparation

Wash kumquats and eat them whole, poach them in sugar syrup and serve them with ice cream, or use them in a fruit salad. They are particularly good in stuffings for poultry. When made into compôte or chutney, they complement duck and other fatty meats well.
