Syrup Infused Kumquats

• On King George, just up from HaMashbir and opposite the original Knesset Building ( http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/beautiful-clothes.html ), is one of those little candy shops. Not part of a chain, not the kind you find in a mall, but one with bins of nuts, wrapped coconut rolls, unbranded confections.
• Right now he is also selling syrup-infused kumquats. I don't know whether these are local.
• They are ambrosial. Bite into one and savor the slightly tangy sweetness, enhanced by the virtue of citrus.
