the forgotten cumquat tree - harvested

we harvested our cumquat from our forgotten cumquat tree today so that we can make cumquat marmalade tomorrow. most of the recipes I found online suggest that i soak the sliced fruits in water overnight. 

i wasn't sure if we have enough cumquat for our marmalade. i don't need much but 100 grams of cumquat is just not worth my time and effort despite them being organic and pesticide free. 

so after combing through the tree, we got ourselves just under 250 grams of cumquat. merely the bumper crop Jim thought we would get but considering we have never really pay much attention to the plant, it's a good win i have to say. 

the fruits have now been sliced and are soaked in one cup of water waiting to be turned into cumquat marmalade tomorrow.
