This is a simple jelly recipe that preserves the bright colour and flavour of cumquat fruit. The sharp tangy bitterness of a strong blue cheese is a match made in heaven for the sweet citrus zest of this jelly.

Is jam setting sugar necessary.? Will the jelly set without it? Thank you CHELSEA: Jam setting sugar isn’t absolutely necessary, but it does make setting more reliable, especially for fruits like kumquats that can be lower in natural pectin. If you don’t use jam setting sugar, you’ll need to cook the jelly longer to reach setting point, and it might be a bit softer. Using jam setting sugar helps the jelly set faster and keeps a fresher fruit flavour.

Delicious. Quite easy as you don't have to remove the pips. As long as you have muslin and a seive, it's straight forward. Tastes really good too and it's clear and golden when set. Great as a paste on a cheese board.

Method
Place cumquats and lemon slices in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover with lid and cook the fruit for 30 minutes. Remove lid and cook for a further hour. Regularly skim off the froth as it comes to the surface.
Line a large sieve with muslin and place over a large bowl. Pour cumquat mixture into the sieve. Set aside overnight to drip into the bowl. Do not push through sieve.
Place a saucer in the freezer. Measure the cumquat liquid into a saucepan and add an equal quantity of jam setting sugar to the liquid. For example, if you have 4 cups of cumquat liquid add 4 cups of Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar
This may vary depending on the size of saucepan used.
Stir cumquat mixture and sugar over a medium heat for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly for 4 minutes or until it forms a syrupy consistency (removing any scum with a large metal spoon).
Test a small amount of jelly on the cold saucer (the surface should wrinkle when a spoon is pushed through it).
Ladle hot jelly into sterilised jars and screw on lid to seal. Turn upside down for 5 minutes to draw a vacuum. Turn upright and set aside until cooled. Label, date and store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
