Loquat is bearing tons of fruit - recipes?

Jelly

Also know as Japanese Plum and by the local term "Mispolice" as in Miss Police.

I had a nice tree in my yard but Katrina took it with the flood waters staying for weeks on end and never planted another one since I made my vegetable garden bigger.

Like fig trees, they were pretty much a staple for many homeowners back in the day. One of my neighbors, when I was a kid, had a huge lot and had persimmons, figs, loquats and cooking pears growing in his yard.

Makes good jelly but it takes a lot of them to do so since most of the inside is nothing but that big brown seed.

Just a little heads up. If you get that juice on a white t-shirt, it will stain it brown after the wash. I ruined a t-shirt eating those things. Luckily, it was a trashy Fred's t-shirt.

Couple of the fruits had already ripened. Put them in some vodka. Nice damn drink.

Now, why didn't I think of that? That sounds awesome.

Pick da fruit nip the blossom end off split and remove the seed part. Then ya can do with them what ya want we can them in a light syrup or freeze them they are good fruit so ya can pie or cobble or anything ya want. We make muffins outs stuff in our yard often the plums. figs, citrus, pecans etc. on a side note they make very good wine

Thanks! All great ideas; especially the chutney.
