When life gives you cumquats or kumquats make a marmalade and mezcal cocktail
In our Melbourne garden, the only fruit tree that produces with any regularity is a cumquat. Bitter little things, cumquats – spelled kumquats outside Australia – are not quite as versatile as most other citrus. So, I say 'when life gives you cumquats, make marmalade!' – then use it in a punchy and tangy cocktail. The Lady Marmalade is a late-night specialty in our household. You can make a non-alcoholic version by shaking up the marmalade with a tangy fruit juice. Grapefruit with a splash of lime works well; the marmalade adds texture and complexity that elevates the juice to mocktail status. The cocktail is made with mezcal and apricot brandy but you can swap out the mezcal for aged tequila, brandy or whisky. You could also use a brighter marmalade based on lime, lemon or grapefruit, and switch the lime juice for lemon to pair with a lighter spirit. To make the spiced marmalade, you'll need a saucepan, juicer, microplane, measuring jug and scale. For the cocktail, you'll need a rocks glass, shaker and a jigger. 500g cumquats 1 cup (250ml) water, or enough to cover the cumquats250g granulated white sugar, or to taste (I like to keep my marmalade quite tart)Pinch salt 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp smoked paprika ½ lemon, zest and juice Quarter or slice the cumquats (depending on size). You can cover the cumquats with the water and leave them to soak overnight if you have time. This softens the fruit, which helps it to cook faster and keeps the flavour fresher, but it's not imperative. If you do this, cook the cumquats in the same water you soaked them in. Put the cumquats, water and sugar in a saucepan and stir over a low heat for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is tender and the sugar has dissolved. Add the salt, spices, lemon zest and juice while still over a low heat, then increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium and continue boiling for about 20 minutes, or until the marmalade has thickened. To check if it has reached setting point, place a small plate in the freezer until cold, then drop a dollop of marmalade on the cold plate. Tilt the plate and, if the marmalade doesn't run, you're good to go. If it runs, continue boiling for a few minutes, then use the same cold plate method to check again. Or you can just eyeball it, if you're a cowboy like me. Fish out any pips you can see. If marmalade is properly jarred and sealed in a sterile container, it can last in the pantry for up to six months. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and use within 12 weeks. 45ml mezcal 15ml apricot brandy2 tbsp spiced cumquat marmalade30ml lime juiceCubed iceCumquat halves, to garnish Add the alcohol, marmalade and lime juice to your shaker tins with ice and shake hard. 'Dump' into your glass (in other words don't strain it, just pour in the same ice you shook with), adding more ice if necessary to fill the glass. Garnish with a cumquat half.

Prisoner dies at correctional centre, sparking protests from fellow inmates who allege the man suffered for days before his death
An inmate at a Sydney correctional centre has died, prompting protests from other prisoners who say he was denied proper medical care in the days before his death. A 41-year-old Aboriginal male inmate at Parklea Correctional Centre, in Sydney' north-west, died on Friday night after being taken to hospital for treatment. A group of inmates conducted protests inside the correctional centre in response to the man's death at 9am the following day. The protesters reportedly barricaded a wing of the prison while outbound calls and visits to Parklea were temporarily suspended. Family members of a man inside the pod told the Saturday Telegraph the inmates protested because they believed the deceased was given a lack of medical attention in the week leading up to his death. The fellow inmate was reportedly friends with the deceased. One family member told the Telegraph that the 41-year-old's cellmates alleged the prison had not done enough to care for him. 'They are serving these sentences and doing their time but it should be done humanely… he had been begging for help,' the family member said. The Saturday Telegraph understands the deceased inmate was seen by medical professionals on a daily basis in the lead-up to his death. Police said a report would be prepared for the coroner but initial inquiries indicated the death of the inmate was 'not suspicious'. 'About 11.20am yesterday (Friday June 27), emergency services were called to a correctional centre in Parklea following reports of an inmate requiring medical assistance,' a NSW Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. 'A 41-year-old man was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Blacktown Hospital, and then transferred to Westmead Hospital for further treatment.' Parklea, a medium and maximum security facility, is privately owned by Management and Training Corp (MTC) but is expected to return to public ownership next year. An MTC spokesperson confirmed the inmate's death sparked 'peaceful protests' in an accommodation unit on Saturday which ended within hours. 'After a period of negotiation, the majority of inmates were voluntarily secured in their cells,' the spokesperson said. 'A small number of inmate representatives then spoke with centre management. 'At about 12.30pm, inmates were released from their cells, and normal routine recommenced. 'There were no injuries to staff or inmates during the incident, and nothing was damaged.' The spokesperson said MTC was working with Corrective Services NSW and NSW Police who investigate all deaths in custody 'regardless of the circumstances'. 'As the matter will be subject to a coronial inquest, it would be inappropriate to comment further,' they said.

Who knew they were friends? MAFS star Carina Mirabile steps out with Angelina Censori in Melbourne
Carina Mirabile has revealed her surprising friendship with Angelina Censori, the younger sister of Kanye West 's wife Bianca. The Married At First Sight star, 31, took to Instagram to share images of the pair enjoying a meal in Melbourne. The gal pals were dining at swanky French eatery Maison Bâtard on Friday, with one image showing what appeared to be a delectable strawberry tart that was about to be devoured by the pair. Another shot showed Carina and Angelina posing up a storm as they sat at their table. Carina certainly endured many comparisons to Kanye's ex Kim Kardashian during her time on MAFS, and it was one she didn't seem keen to shake during the dinner date. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She bore quite the striking resemblance to the reality queen, wearing a form-fitting black high-neck top. Wearing her hair in a slicked-back look, Carina also sported a long kiss curl that fell over her forehead. She finished her look with a pair of large black Blegati sunglasses, sporting an aloof look as she posed next to Angelina. Angelina, 21, was also a vision in black, in a velvet turtleneck top that hugged her slender form. It comes after Angelina recently returned to Melbourne after a whirlwind overseas jaunt. She was spotted heading to a local gym last week, stepping out in black and white activewear. After hanging out with Kanye and his crew in Spain last month, the Instagram model spent time with his entourage in Japan. She took to Instagram last week to share a series of photos of their latest trip, including images of herself dining at popular chain restaurant WAGYUMAFIA and shopping at a high-end store. Meanwhile, a photo of the rapper, 48, posing in designer vintage store Amore also emerged online. Angelina has wasted no time in maximising the profitability of these social media shopping trips with her brother-in-law. She recently posted to her Instagram Stories to advertise a dizzying array of designer shoes, handbags, and winter coats for sale on her Depop account, which is linked in her Instagram bio. The clothing is from a variety of designer and high street brands, and ranges from as affordable as $20 to as pricey as $700. The younger Censori made a splash last August when she wore a pair of white Miu Miu underwear with a nude waistband at another of Ye's listening parties, and has been the most vocal supporter of her sister's marriage to the rapper. She has also gushed about her style after Bianca's outfits made headlines around the world. '[Bianca] has the best wardrobe,' she told Page 13 in January 2024 at Melbourne Fashion Week. 'I love fashion and I always like to do my own thing. I don't follow what influencers are doing but have my own take.' Meanwhile, Carina has long drawn comparisons to the most famous Kardashian star, with some MAFS fans dubbing her 'Temu Kim'. She was roasted after she wore a halter-neck dress that featured a curve-hugging, ruched bodice and a matching headscarf to a MAFS dinner party. Internet sleuths were quick to discover she had borrowed the exact look from Kim's younger sister Kylie, who wore the same dress in a promotional shoot for The Kardashians. In a showreel attached to her website, Carina shared a video in which she said her top five dream red carpet interviewees are: 'Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, The Weeknd and Drake.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia in January, Carina said she was flattered by the nickname, but laughed it off nonetheless. 'I mean, come on—I'm a little more classy than that! But honestly, I am inspired by Kim's fashion and style,' she said.
