Meanwhile, finely shred 1 teaspoon zest from one of the tangerines; set zest aside. Cut the peel, including all the white pith, from the tangerines and oranges. Discard the peels. Cut sections from the tangerines and oranges, removing seeds.

Add the tangerine and orange sections, reserved tangerine zest and the kumquat pieces to the sugar mixture. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until kumquat pieces are tender and mixture is the consistency of thin jam. (You should have about 1 1/3 cups.) Remove from the heat and cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
