It was always ordinary white sugar, the same weight as the cumquats. There was a think layer at first, but after turning the bottle on its head, and then turning it back when the sugar had dropped through, it was fine after a couple of days. From memory it was cumquats in, add sugar at end, pour in brandy until covered.<br /><br />The cumquats are also stunning sliced on well-done steak.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205010291496207355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-35118009336730288902009-09-06T19:19:54.446+10:002009-09-06T19:19:54.446+10:00I've never tried cumquats before, in fact, I&#...I've never tried cumquats before, in fact, I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't even know what they looked like! The brandied jar looks divine!

I remember visiting a garden in Victoria where they had a cumquat hedge about 15 metres long, covered in fruit. I think I need one - esp since I can put it in a pot! My tiny Rozelle front yard already has 5 citrus, but no pots on the deck.....Lanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12752139198631821577noreply@blogger.com
