Once all the fruit are already in salt water, remove the fruit and soak them in the clear lime water. <br />I didn't soak them before I cut.

You make a thin lime water (by only using the clear water after you've poured off the lime sediment) and then you add salt to THAT right? And you soak the fruit in that salt-lime water right? I didn't understand whether there is one or two soaks. Also I'm having trouble getting the seeds out without ruining my fruit. When I squeeze the fruit, it just squishes into mush.sure I get the seeds out eventually but it looks nothing like your lovely fruit. Do you soak and harden them BEFORE you cut and extract the seeds? thanks, Betsy from TorontoOrangeblosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537850405068780084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967868157203158291.post-84843389814860380032011-02-16T21:27:58.905-08:002011-02-16T21:27:58.905-08:00Hi chi Anita,

Em lam khoang two pounds but it took me so long, especially I had to cut each of the kumquats and taking pictures at the same time. <br /><br />Con phan white lime paste thi luc em lam em khong co measure. Nen khi write up the recipe, I just guessed it :-> De em edit lai recipe. <br /><br />I made it again later without white lime paste since i ran out of it and the kumquats weren't clear though it still tasted very good. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment chi.Loan aka Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413757380816843136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967868157203158291.post-23513593927722497602011-02-16T21:07:39.695-08:002011-02-16T21:07:39.695-08:00Loan ơi, mình làm mứt tắc hôm nay.

Có điều mình làm 4 lbs nên ngồi rạch khía xung quanh tắc rồi lấy hạt .... chời ơi, phê luôn. Làm cả buổi mới xong và giờ mới sên xong nè. Làm cực nhưng công nhận thành phẩm ra ham lắm, nhìn mấy trái tắc bóng bóng, trong veo, màu nâu đỏ đẹp tự nhiên, thích ơi là thích. Chắc chắn năm tới mình sẽ làm mứt này vào dịp Tết. <br /><br />À, just in case Loan muốn bớt vôi (white lime paste) lại 1/2 teaspoon chắc cũng được đó vì thực sự mình làm 4 lbs tắc mà nhà chỉ còn có 1 teaspoons (instead of 2 teaspoons) vôi, mình cũng làm đại luôn. Kết qủa thấy mứt cũng trong veo và đẹp lắm đó Loan. Thanks again nha Loan, công thức này dễ làm mà thành qủa lại đẹp nữa.

Most fruit vendors or supermarket people promised me kumquats in April! Even my friends' families. I need the kumquats now for Tet. Sooo, I sweet talked a fruit vendor at the Farmer market to look into it for me and lo and behold, I got my kumquats. <br /><br />The recipe turned out simply perfect!
