Experts disagree about whether kumquats are members of the citrus family. Regardless of their botanical classification, these orange beauties with thin, edible skins are a tasty winter treat. They also make a terrific garnish that I like to serve with cake.

This recipe was excerpted from 'Delectable' by Claudia Fleming with Catherine Young. Buy the full book on Amazon.
