Directions
Maggie’s Lethal Kumquat Liqueur,This easy-to-make and delicious recipe is from my friend Maggie Smiththe 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.,I made this a little over a year ago. After about 3 months, I removed some of the kumquats and dipped in chocolate. It has sat forgotten in my pantry since! Is it still good?,Also are we to wash them initially and must they be completely dry.
