My grandparents had a little kumquat tree

[melissa-dallas]

When I was a kid my grandmother always had handfuls of the pretty little things on the kitchen counter when the tree was producing. I saw some in Fiesta on the way home & had to pick some up. I'm making these while I wax nostalgic & miss my grandparents.http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014495-candied-kumquats-or-meyer-lemons

Aww! What a nice memory! Grandma and Grandpa would be proud! I've never had a kumquat, but the

name makes me smile. It sounds so serious, for such a small, precious fruit.
