My woman came home with all these fucking kumquats and I knew they would mold before we finished them so I had to figure out a way to cook them all at once. I decided on cheesecake after my interwebs sleuthing on what the fuck to do with kumquats. Let's begin:
Even though you have not asked I will assume you have no fucking clue what a kumquat is. That's okay. I don't think you are stupid for not knowing. You are stupid, however, for many other more serious reasons. A kumquat is a little citrus fruit and the rind is edible so you eat the little fuckers whole. Pour 1c water and 1c sugar into a saucepan. Dissolve the sugar into the water over medium heat. Add two dozen or more sliced up kumquats, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 min. Remove from heat and let cook. Strain out the kumquats. Use the reserved syrup for something else because the kumquats will be plenty for the cheesecake.
I used my regular
cheesecake recipe and just added the kumquats after it cooled. I would suggest storing the kumquats in a little bowl in the fridge and applying as needed rather than covering the cheesecake unless you are serving to company. Eat it.

i was just fixin'ta ask "what the hell is a kumquat?"
I am like a fucking prophet
"kumquats" heheheheh
Looks tasty pal... how did it turn out? I would imagine the flavors were nice together...
I know what a cumaquat is, but had no idea you could eat the fucking rind! cool!
Kumquats also make some pretty damn good marmalade! My fave? Kumquat and ginger marmalade!
=^..^=

It turned out awesome! The flavors paired perfectly. I would even suggest making an orange cheesecake.
The rind is like 50% of the kumquat! It would be a hell of a lot of work otherwise!
That sounds really good!
I just found your blog (yay!) and I am definitely going to try cooking some of the things you have blogged about.
It will be an epic task, since (as you already know) I suck at cooking and even fuck up rice. BUT, I'm really good at making ramen noodles in microwave, so chew on that for a minute.
Also, I have only heard the term kumquat used as follows:
"Shut your hole, you fucking kumquat."
Great blog :)
A suggestion for the syrup - mixed with club soda over ice. Tasty, refreshing and different.
=^..^=
I don't think I would even recognize a kumquat let alone know how to cook the damn thing.

And I thought a kumquat is an animal living in Australia.
I love you, Asshole!
Microwaves are for paraplegics.
That sounds really good...with some gin!
They are like tiny oranges but not as round...
Ausralia has all sorts of stupid shit.
Who doesn't?
Oh, I think this animal is called wombats and not kumquats. Wonder how a wombat cheesecake will taste.
Not good.
