Quick-Candied Kumquats - sugar

Method

• In a small saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar dissolves and mixture just comes to a boil. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, slice kumquats crosswise into thin circles, removing their seeds as you work. (A few seeds remaining is just fine.) Place rounds into a large, clean glass jar or several small jars. Pour simple syrup overtop to cover. Let cool before covering and refrigerating. They'll keep at least a month in the fridge.
