1. 1

   Place the kumquats in a large saucepan and add water to cover.

2. 2

   Bring to a full boil and, when foam begins to form on the surface, reduce the heat to medium.

3. 3

   Continue to cook for 10 min more.

4. 4

   Drain the kumquats and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same saucepan over a high heat, bring the water to a gentle boil.

6. 6

   Add the sugars, reduce the heat to medium, and stir constantly until the sugars have dissolved, about 3 min. Add the kumquats and vanilla bean and bring to a full boil.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the kumquats are transparent and soft, about 1 hour.

8. 8

   Spoon the kumquats and syrup into a clean jar, let cool, cover, and refrigerate. They will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
