Simmer kumquat in boiling light sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes.
Light syrup: 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp rum, pinch of salt.
You might want to use simple/heavy syrup if you prefer sweeter taste.
Drain
and spread kumquat onto parchment lined cookie sheet, dry in 170F oven
or dehydrator for about 2-3 hours until the kumquat is slightly firmed
and can be lifted easily.
Dip kumquat into melted chocolate (I use semi-sweet chocolate) and let it dry a bit before serving.

Oh my. That looks so delicious.
Yum, those look so good! I've been buying kumquats at the farmer's market lately, but I simply eat them out of hand.
Oh my goodness!! They look heavenly! Thanks for sharing such a yummy recipe!
What a great idea - now I'm mourning the demise of mums kumquat tree even more.
Daphne, Michelle, Robin, Liz,

Thank you, I've been served these little morsels before, it was addicting and I couldn't resist to make some whenever there's fresh kumquats around.
