Winter Fruit Marmalade

Makes about 1 cup

Wonderful on toast for Christmas breakfast.

1 ⁄ 3 lb fresh kumquats or Cuties (about 1 heaping C)
1 C semi-dry white wine (sauvignon blanc)
3 ⁄ 4 C sugar

Rinse a clean glass jar with boiling water to sterlize. Wash the fruit. Quarter the fruit, removing the stems and seeds (if using Cutie tangerines, cut into 1 ⁄ 2-inch chunks). Place the fruit in a medium saucepan. Pour the wine over the fruit and stir in the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil for about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour hot mixture into prepared jar (you may want to use a wide-mouthed funnel). The marmalade keeps for up to 1 month in the refrigerator, or you can preserve it using your preferred canning method for longer storage at room temperature.
