What to do with kumquats??

On of the many reasons I love getting the Hollygrove market box is that I get to try new fruits and veggies that I would not normally try. One such example are kumquats. I've eaten these once before from the farmers market, and seen them growing in bushes around New Orleans in people's yards. They are like tiny oranges, so small and tender that you eat the rind. The flavor is somewhat bitter given the rind, but they are juicy and satisfying to snack on like grapes.

I searched for recipes and found this one from epicurious.com, a cranberry kumquat chutney. Super simple and I already happened to have a bag of fresh cranberries on hand in the freezer, so no need to buy additional ingredients.

Here is the result. It is a beautiful garnet color with the orange kumquat pieces, and it is delicious too. I put it over simple baked salmon and it is an incredibly flavorful pairing. I eat salmon often for health benefits, so I'll freeze some of this chutney for a tasty and quick dinner later on.
