“My age has passed and I am searching for the name of this fruit.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh loquats, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped loquats, lemon juice, water, and sweetener.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the loquats are soft and syrupy.
  3. Add cinnamon if using and stir well.
  4. Let cool slightly, then blend into a smooth puree (or leave chunky for a compote-style sauce).
  5. Serve over yogurt, toast, ice cream—or enjoy by the spoonful!
