They grow in Israel as ornamental trees among other citrus which makes me green with envy. Sometimes the fruit isn't even picked which is such a huge waste.

They look like little oranges to me so I would class them as citrus and hopfuly I might just be able to find some for this recipe.

So informative and evocative--I think the scent of citrus and rosemary is wafting out from my mother's kitchen as I look at the photos and read the recipe! I also think Paula's lamb recipe with your rosemary candied kumquates sounds terrific! Finally, love the photos!

And I had two friends who have trees, so they gave my bags full of them. I used to pop them like candy straight from the tree when I was a kid, since it grew a lot in my family´s farm. I had a recipe for lamb with candied kumquats that was amazing. And it would be good with the rosemary version too. I will get a bunch next time they´re in season!
