 March always marks the end of citrus season, and so now's your chance to go to the store and take advantage of the last of the sweet, juicy citrus. Today, I have one of my favorites. It's the teeny, tiny little kumquat that you see in the store. And don't be afraid to buy it just because you don't know what to do with it. This little citrus is really the only one that you can pop into your mouth and eat skin and pulp and everything, even the seeds if you want to. And what's unique about kumquats is that it's the skin that is really nice and sweet and the flesh that is bitter. So it's kind of the opposite of an orange, but there's lots of great ways that you can use this and all really, really simple. One thing I like to do is to cut off the end and then just make some really small, thin slices and add them to a good salad. So you can see there's little seed in there. I don't really prefer to eat the seeds, so I take them out, but I'm gonna show you that when you put it in your mouth and eat it, it's just this perfect balance of sweet and tart. It's so good. Now, this winter, I had the opportunity to go through a hike of the Everglades and my guide had a special treat halfway through the hike. Out of his backpack, he pulled some kumquats and some dark chocolate. And he said, as far as he's concerned, the only part of the kumquat worth eating is the skin. That's the sweet part. So I'll show you what he did. He took the kumquat and you'll wanna make sure that you wash kumquats before you eat them because you're eating the whole thing, skin and all. So what I like to do is just cut the little stem off and then cut it lengthwise into quarters and then you'll see how easy the peel comes right off of that fleshy part, the fruit part inside. And so then you just have the nice peel left and then I make some thinner slices, put it on a plate with some nice bitter dark chocolate and then eat them together. This makes a wonderful dessert, a little something sweet after you've had a big meal and guests are always so impressed with this. So just take a piece of peel and a little piece of chocolate, pop it in your mouth at the same time, you won't believe how decadent this is. So while you can, be sure to get to the store, get some kumquats and take advantage of them before March is over. I'm Sue Dodin, sharing good food for Good Life 365.
