Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This is one of Atul's inventions and it goes brilliantly with crab salad.

500g kumquats, thinly sliced
150g palm sugar or raw cane sugar
150ml white wine vinegar
2tsp cumin seeds
1tsp coriander seeds, toasted and crushed
3 dried red chillies
2tsp melon seeds toasted
2tsp salt

Put the kumquats in a heavy based saucepan with all of the other ingredients. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour until you have a thick chunky consistency. Allow to cool, then spoon into sterilised Kilner or preserving jars and seal the tops. Store in the fridge for up to a month.
