Cumquat liqueur (contains Mulled Wine Spice Kit).
I usually make marmalade with my homegrown cumquats, but given I have so many this season, I decided to try something different.
Googling cumquat liqueur recipes, I found the recipes used most of the spices in my Mulled Wine Spice Kit, so I tweaked the recipe to suit my ingredients.
The recipe suggests leaving the mixture in the jars for up to 3 months, so I'll report back at a later date with the result. But surely it will taste amazing, given it contains vodka, cumquats, sugar and spices.
Ingredients -
- 1kg cumquats (stab each one with a fork to help release the juices)
- 1 x 1.75ltr bottle vodka
- 4 cups x sugar
- 2 x Mulled Wine Spice Kit
- 2 x 2ltr sanitised jars
Method -
1. Add the following into each jar - 2 cups sugar, 500g cumquats, 1 x Mulled Wine Spice Kit (except the dehydrated blood orange)
2. Add the vodka - divide the bottle into across both jars.
3. Put the lid on each jar and leave for up to 3 months.
Note - The recipe I found mentioned to keep the cumquats under the liquid. I just shake the jar everyday to mix the sugar and cumquats and it looks good.

Have you got an idea or a recipe you can share using my Mulled Wine Spice Kit for something other than mulled wine? If so, I would love to hear about it!
