I have lots of thyme in my garden and had never thought to combine the two! So this is next on my list to make, Thank You!<br /><br />Question: You suggested blanching them to get rid of the chemicals. First, blanch them before or after slicing?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314428340392381016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-11594073248684929462010-03-22T15:14:10.345+01:002010-03-22T15:14:10.345+01:00love how these look!!!love how these look!!!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373028877416402529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-38760425142302892302010-03-22T14:22:25.162+01:002010-03-22T14:22:25.162+01:00looks fantastic Meeta..with nice clicklooks fantastic Meeta..with nice clickFoodLovershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005662494005635977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-50657650196939195142010-03-22T01:00:38.342+01:002010-03-22T01:00:38.342+01:00I have never made candies kumquats but these look ...I have never made candies kumquats but these look amazing!
