On the heels of introducing its Tunisian-style preserved lemon condiment, La Boîte, the spice retailer in Hell’s Kitchen, has collaborated once more with the chef Eric Ripert and the preserve-maker Le Bon Magot for its new, sweetly tangy kumquat compote with Cognac. As devoted a prepare dinner as you is perhaps, don’t be shy about leaving to others the hassle of seeding and cooking kumquats; these are meltingly tender and seasoned with cinnamon and star anise. Heat the contents of the jar to sidle as much as duck breast, or serve the compote at room temperature alongside cheese.
