“Wow! It tastes sweet and creamy. Very surprisingly delicious.” He said.“Hmph. It’s almost banana-sweet – not bitter at all?!” I said.
I had a few leftover kumquats and decided to juice them in my juicer with some peeled mandarins. 
Have you ever tasted fresh kumquat juice? Rind and all?
Well it’s delicious….
Recipe ahead…
Kumquat Mandarin Sunrise Juice
serves two
10-12 Kumquats
4-6 small mandarin oranges, peeled
Using your home juicer, juice the kumquats first, then follow with the mandarins.
It may be a tough squeeze to press the kumquats through, but trust me they will provide a nice amount of juice.
Before serving, I suggest straining the juice through a metal strainer. (Optional)
The taste?
It is creamy. Not bitter at all.
This juice would taste amazing blended with a few bananas and ice.
Blended with vanilla soy cream would make an amazing “creamsicle” type flavored soy-shake.
Yum!
I found kumquats at a Trader Joe on the East Coast two days ago. Without your article I never would have noticed them. I added them to some recipes and they gave a delicious gourmet flavor.
Sara,
I purchased my kumquats at TJ’s too! Such a great little fruit that gets no PR at all these days!
I was shocked when my not-so-big-on-fruit husband loved them. And the kumquat juice as well.
So glad you found them. Thanks for the comment!

I love kumquats! I’ll have to try juicing them next time I can get my hands on some.
