1

Wash and dry the kumquats thoroughly. Pierce them with a fork to allow them to absorb the syrup without bursting during cooking. Cover with sugar, add the leaves and water, and let macerate overnight.

2

The next day, bring everything to a boil, then cook for about 20 to 30 minutes over low heat, until the fruits are translucent and candied.

3

Finally, let cool in the pot so that the kumquats absorb the syrup, then store in a previously boiled and perfectly dry jar. Press down the fruits if necessary, so that they are well covered with syrup.
