500 g cumquats
2 cups sugar
750 ml bottle brandy

Cumquat Liqueur 2
I'm going to give this one a go, plenty gin here, no Brandy :laughing-rolling: Ingredients:
Cumquats: 1450 g
Castor sugar: 1450 g
Prince Albert gin: 1450 g
Instructions:
Unpeeled cumquats sliced into halves and all constituants placed in the bottle together.The bottle placed in a warm/hot bath (washing up temperature) until the sugar had dissolved.This process has the advantage that on cooling the bottle seals itself nicely.
Cumquat Brandy Liqueur
Ingredients:
500 g cumquats
500 g sugar (you can use 375 g sugar if preferred, or more than 500 g for a sweeter liqueur)
1 bottle brandy
Instructions:
Prick the cumquats all over with a skewer or darning needle. Place in a large jar with the sugar and brandy. Shake or stir each day until sugar is dissolved (about 10 days). Leave 6 months before using brandy, at which point the cumquats can also be consumed.
this sounds good to0, especially the chocky bit :D
