Step 1

Make vinegar water by slightly adding vinegar to the water enough to immerse the kumquats, and then put all the kumquats in the vinegar water, wait for a while, then rinse with clean water a few times to rinse thoroughly.

Step 2

Remove the top of the kumquats with a toothpick and make holes. (You don’t need to remove the top! And if you don’t like the seeds, cut the kumquats in half and remove all the seeds.)

Step 3

To the trimmed kumquat, add 1/3 of the weight of the kumquat, mix roughly, cover the top, and candy at room temperature for two days. Stir it occasionally to dissolve the sugar. (For one day if cut in half)

Step 4

After the sugar has dissolved to some extent with the juice from the kumquat, put water and starch syrup in a large pot and boil over high heat. When it starts to boil, turn off the heat, and immediately add all the candied kumquat and sugar, cover the top and soak in syrup for one day.

Step 5

After pickling for one day, turn on the heat again and boil slowly over low heat for 5-10 minutes while removing the bubbles. (If there is foam, the colour becomes cloudy and the surface becomes uneven.) After boiling, cover again and pickle for one day. Repeat this process 3 times in 3 days. (Please adjust the number of pickling days according to the state of the Jeong-gwa!)

Step 6

You can store the finished Jeong-gwa in a bottle with syrup and enjoy it in the state of “Jeonjeong-gwa”. Or, after placing it on a sieve, dry it at room temperature for a short period of 3-4 days, for a long period of time, and then change it to a state of “Geonjeong-gwa”.
