2 Qt. Cumquats, stems removed/ 3 Habanero peppers/ 1 Qt. Sugar/ 1 Tbsp. *Citric acid

Place cumquats and habanero peppers in a large pot and cover with water.  Then boil for 30 minutes, let simmer for 10 minutes.  Once cooked, strain the cumquat-and-habanero mixture, blend with 1 Qt. of sugar and 1 Tbsp. of citric acid.  For a thinner consistency, strain the puree.  Note: as the puree sits, it gets spicier.  Follow the recipe but the result is about balancing the cocktail.

*Citric acid can be found in most supermarkets with the canning supplies.[/ultimate_modal][vc_empty_space height="15px"]
