Slice kumquats into 1/8 inch pieces.

Layer sliced kumquats into a bamboo basket or use a food dehydrator to dry them.

Combine 2 cups of sliced kumquats, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil until the kumquat slices become a little transparent.

Let it boil for a few more minutes to thicken the sugar and turn it into a preserve.

Pour the mixture into a pint-sized mason jar and fill the rest with pure raw unfiltered honey, then stir.
