Oh I ADORE kumquats! We rented a house on the beach in Hawaii a couple of years ago for a family reunion, and there was a kumquat tree with instructions from the homeowner to feel free to eat as many as we wanted. One morning I made French toast. I put a handful of kumquats in a blender with a bit of *real* maple syrup and a bit of water, blended it, then poured it on the French toast. Holy cow it was the best any of us had ever had, and family members STILL talk about that French toast.
I had to go look up "chinquapins" on the googles because I've never heard that word before. The pictures look very similar to what was called horse chestnuts when I was growing up. Are they the same thing, or somewhat different?
