MAGGIE'S LETHAL KUMQUAT LIQUEUR
This easy-to-make and delicious recipe is from my friend Maggie Smith-the Aussie, not the British, actress. Use the greater amount of kumquats to intensify the citrus flavour. Cooking time does not reflect the months needed for the liqueur to age fully.

Steps:
- Put the pricked kumquats, sugar and brandy in a jar that can be tightly sealed (should hold at least a litre). Store jar away from sunlight.
- Every day for the next 14 days, turn the jar over and back to distribute the sugar. You don't need to shake the jar.
- After the 14 days are up, keep turning the jar over and back at least once a week until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- When the sugar has dissolved, use tongs or a slotted spoon to gently remove the kumquats. Leave the liqueur to age in the jar.
- Dip these boozy kumquats in melted chocolate for a delicious treat with after-dinner coffee. Store in the freezer.
- Six months later, the liqueur is ready to be bottled and enjoyed. Maggie saves interesting-looking smaller bottles to use for gifts.
- Note: You can bottle the liqueur at three months (to give as a gift), but tell the recipient it is worth waiting the extra three months before tasting. The well-aged liqueur is thicker, sweeter and more syrupy.

KUMQUAT LIMONCELLO
For a unique spin on the perennially popular limoncello, replace the lemons with seasonal kumquats¿a winter citrus fruit that packs a lot of flavor into a tiny package. For a gorgeous presentation, package it in clear glass bottles so the fruit can shine through. This liqueur is traditionally served from the freezer, so make sure you choose a bottle with a resealable top.

Steps:
- Wash the kumquats well under hot water. Slice each in half and remove any seeds with the tip of a paring knife.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a full boil, then add the kumquats and sugar. Stir well and simmer over medium-low heat until the kumquats begin to look semi-translucent and the mixture is the consistency of maple syrup, about 15 minutes.
- Divide the candied kumquats among four 18-ounce wide-mouthed jars. Divide the grain alcohol among them to fill. Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks, but ideally 1 month. (The longer the liqueur ages, the better it will taste.)
BUCKWHEAT CRêPES WITH TANGERINE BUTTER AND POACHED KUMQUATS
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Prepare and cook: 12 Buckwheat Crêpes (opposite).
- Stack the crêpes as they are cooked. Don't refrigerate them if you are using them within a few hours.
- Prepare: Poached kumquats (page 365).
- Prepare the tangerine butter. Remove, with a fine grater, the zest from: 1 tangerine.
- Cut the fruit in half and squeeze the juice into a measuring cup.
- In a small bowl mix together: 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened, 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Beat until soft and creamy and then, with a fork, stir in the zest and half of the tangerine juice. When mixed stir in: 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
- This will take a while, but keep stirring until the liquid is incorporated. If possible add a bit more of the tangerine juice. The butter will appear lumpy; this is not a problem.
- Remove a crêpe from the stack and, with the pale side up, spread a spoonful of butter over half of the crêpe. Fold the crêpe in two over the butter, and then in half again to make a triangle. Repeat with the rest of the crêpes. Lay them out in a buttered baking dish in slightly overlapping rows. If desired, sprinkle them lightly with more liqueur. Right before serving, bake the crêpes in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes to warm through. While the crêpes are heating in the oven, warm the poached kumquats. Serve the crêpes hot from the oven and top each serving with a few spoonfuls of poached kumquats and their syrup.
- Serve the crêpes with the segments of 3 tangerines, raw with their juice, instead of the poached kumquats.
- Instead of the tangerine, use an orange or a blood orange to make the butter. Use only 1 teaspoon of its zest and start with about one third of its juice.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or tangerine sherbet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- With a sharp thin knife thinly slice kumquats crosswise, removing seeds. Break cinnamon sticks in half. In a small saucepan bring sugar, corn syrup, and water to a boil with cinnamon sticks, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add kumquats and gently simmer until kumquats are translucent and syrup is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Diagonally cut eight 1/2-inch-thick slices from baguette and melt butter. Lightly brush butter onto both sides of baguette slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Toast slices in upper third of oven until pale golden, about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze juice from 2 tangerines and pour through a sieve into kumquat mixture. With a sharp knife cut peel from remaining 2 tangerines, including all white pith, and cut sections free from membranes. Squeeze any juice from membranes into kumquat mixture. Bring kumquat mixture to a simmer and add tangerine sections. Remove pan from heat.
- Dip toasts into syrup to coat both sides and arrange 2 toasts on each of 4 small plates. Spoon fruit and remaining syrup over toasts and garnish each serving with a piece of cinnamon stick.
CORNISH GAME HENS WITH KUMQUATS AND ORANGE LIQUEUR SAUCE
My family calls games hens "Bak-baks." Any family crazy enough to nickname poultry is crazy enough to cook with kumquats. We have our own kumquat tree, so the hunting and gathering is kept to a minimum. I've served this for Thanksgiving instead of roast turkey - a very nice change!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit.
- Remove tarragon leaves from the stems; place aside. Wash and dry kumquats; slice in half and remove all seeds; place aside. Crush, dice, or press the garlic cloves; place aside. Rinse game hens with cold water and pat dry.
- Separate the skin from the game hen's breast. Push in the tarragon leaves and crushed garlic under the skin; the skin protects the leaves and garlic from burning. Place tarragon stems inside the hen's cavity, along with about 35-40 seeded kumquats.
- Place game hens on a raised rack in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to prevent the juices from burning. Cook for about one and ½ hours at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Baste frequently and replenish the water in the pan as needed.
- Optional: Place giblets in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium heat until done, about 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool. Chop and set aside.
- Coarsely chop the remaining 10 to 15 kumquats. In a sauce pan, combine the orange juice, sugar, and kumquats. Bring to a slow boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Stir frequently and cook until done, about 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Remove the game hens from the oven after 90 minutes or when golden brown and done. Transfer the game hens to a serving platter. Remove and discard the tarragon stems. Reserve the cooked kumquats and decoratively place around the hens.
- Deglaze the roasting pan and transfer the drippings to a saucepan. Carefully add the flour to make a roué. Add chicken broth and cook over medium heat until the gravy is thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add giblets (optional).
- Combine the orange liqueur with orange juice/kumquat sauce and add to gravy. Simmer another 5 minutes. Transfer to gravy boat.
- Carve game hens and serve each portion with gravy and kumquats.
