Chocolate Dipped Cumquat

Cumquats are interesting fruits that we usually eat raw with their peel on. But what if you want to eat them cooked or baked? Having only few delicious recipes to prepare and bake cumquats, this one will make you adore this fruit!

There are two cumquat trees in my garden and these trees are veeery generous! I'm a big fan of citrus chocolates so chocolate dipped cumquats sounded like a spectacular idea.

I got some cumquats, sliced them, soaked them in sugar syrup, then baked them in the oven to dry a little. After cooling them, I dipped them in chocolate and served for my family. In a couple of hours, they were all gone!
