Instructions For The Candied Kumquats: In a heavy three-four quart saucepan, dissolve the sugar into the water. Slowly bring to a simmer over medium low heat.
Add the sliced kumquats and lower the heat. Bring to a gentle simmer being very mindful that the sugar syrup does not foam up and overflow. Cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes. Add the vanilla bean and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup, discarding the vanilla bean, and place back in to the saucepan. Reduce the syrup to one cup over medium-low heat. Cool syrup reduction and pour over candied kumquats.
