  • 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.
