      Yield: 1 batch 
  
----------------------------------FILLING---------------------------------- 
    1/2 c  Preserved kumquat 
      3 lg Egg 
  1 1/2 c  Pecans; diced 
    3/4 c  Sugar 
    3/4 c  Butter; room temp 
      3 T  Cognac 
 
----------------------------------TOPPING---------------------------------- 
    1/2 c  Pecans; diced 
    1/4 c  Sugar 
    1/4 c  Butter; melted 
    1/2 c  Cognac 
  
  For filling: Seed, chop and pat dry kumquats, reserving 1/3 cup 
  kumquat syrup. Combine eggs, 1 1/2 cups pecans, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 
  cup butter, kumquats and 3 tablespoons Cognac in processor or blender 
  and mix well using on/off turns. Turn into bowl. Cover and freeze at 
  least 1 hour. (Filling can be prepared ahead and frozen.) 
   
  To assemble crepes: Generously butter two 7x11-inch baking dishes. 
  Reserve 1/3 cup filling for sauce. Fill each crepe with about 1 1/2 
  to 2 tablespoons filling. Roll crepes up cigar fashion. Arrange seam 
  side down in single layer in prepared baking dishes. (Can be 
  assembled to this point 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated, or 
  frozen for several days.) 
   
  Preheat oven to 350 deg. Sprinkle crepes with remaining pecans and 
  sugar and drizzle with melted butter. Bake until bubbling hot, about 
  15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1/3 cup reserved filling, 2 
  tablespoons Cognac and 1/3 cup reserved kumquat syrup in small 
  saucepan and bring to simmer over low heat. Warm remaining Cognac in 
  small saucepan. 
   
  To serve, arrange crepes on platter and top with sauce. Ignite Cognac 
  and pour over top, shaking platter until flame subsides. Serve 
  immediately.
