Kumquat, I haven't eaten it for many years, I always pass by it, and I almost never thought of taking it home. why? not sure.
For fruits, it is actually more happy to eat them fresh. I used to eat kumquat like this, but this time, I want to make a candied kumquat. It is said that kumquat has the effects of rationalizing qi to relieve depression, relieving phlegm and relieving cough, and soothing alcohol. It is estimated that you can only eat it directly, and make a candied kumquat. Maybe someone is willing to eat a few.
The production is not complicated, it's just a bit of time spent squeezing the core with a knife. The cutting edge was a little longer, and some of them couldn't withstand the scratching when they were boiled and fell apart, but they were fine. It looks good after being boiled, but I never expected the taste of candied kumquat to be like this, very. . . . Li Qi. . . . "
