Wash kumquats. Pour boiling water over them; let
cool. Will probably see film of oil on top. Rinse
well and slice crosswise; remove seeds.
Measure fruit; add equal amount of sugar and just a
dab of lemon juice. Simmer gently on low heat until
translucent, stirring frequently. Serve with toast.
(If makes enough to store, put in sterilized jar and
seal.)
