An extremely easy, attractive and tasty relish:

* 1 cup water
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 tsp red-pepper flakes
* a dozen or so kumquats

Rinse and slice the kumquats in thin slices, removing the seeds.  In the meantime, bring the water, sugar and red-pepper to a boil.  

When the kumquats are ready, just put them in the boiling syrup.  Simmer until
the solution gets thicker (about 40 minutes).

Cool and put in a container for later use.
