3. Tip in the kumquats and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just beginning to soften.
4. Add the brown sugar and pour over the vinegar, while still on the heat. Cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the kumquats have completely softened and lost their shape.

A superb easy to follow recipe which I am following now for the second year. If you need more zing, just add a few more chilly flakes. I remove the bigger pips, but that's just my preference.
