Kumquats for jam / marmalade

Steve from Meadowbank

We have a bumper crop of kumquats that need to be made into jam or marmalade. Really easy to do as they don't need to be peeled (skin is edible).
They are too bitter to eat from the tree so please don't take them as a substitute for mandarins or oranges.
Probably have enough for 100 litres of kumquats
Recipe is 1 part kumquat / 2 parts water / 2.5 parts sugar, so there's enough to make over 500 litres!
Soak for 8 hours then boil for an hour.
Private message if interested.
Cheers

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Used but in good condition.

It is the redder colour, but have used green image too as it's sharper.
