Every year loquat trees produce beautiful fruits that are seen in neighbors' backyard but only birds and squirrels are munching on them. If you have a loquat tree, don't let them go to waste. Eat just like that and make chutney or jam. I promise you won't be disappointed. People often wonder,"what is loquat?" I also didn't know about this fruit until we moved to our current residence three years back. Loquat is originally from China growing in clusters. They are oval shaped with yellow or orange skin. Loquat tree blooms in early winter and fruits in early spring. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants. Loquat looks like kind of apricot with 3-5 big seeds but less flesh. These yellow-orange fruits are very sweet. Loquats are a very delicate fruit. They have no shelf life after harvesting. As soon as they are picked cook them into chutney or jam right away. They are naturally high in pectin that helps jam to set without adding pectin and also high in sugar. So I used less than half of the amount sugar out of a traditional recipe and my jams got set without any trouble. That's the best part, less sugar but still sweet enough. I start making jams just before summer break. It's a pleasure to give edible gifts to uncles, aunties, teachers and friends. I made couple of batches Strawberry Jam and other stone fruits jams a few weeks back and they traveled all the way to India. Theses jams are perfect on whole wheat toast, cracker or flat bread with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast. Ingredients~ 4 cups peeled and de- seeded loquats 1/2 cup organic sugar 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice Equipment~ A medium heavy bottom pan Total time~ 10 minutes to harvest 30 minutes for preparation 30 minutes to cook Method~ After peeling and de-seeding, pull off the white fiber in the middle of the fruit then cut into small pieces. Soak them in the lemon juice so they won't turn brown. Take a heavy bottom pan and boil the fruit. Add in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat for a few minutes. Then cook until mixture starts to thicken for about 30 minutes over medium heat stirring often. Mash the fruits with back of a spoon while boiling. It's ready when jam turns amber color and most of the liquid evaporates. I didn't use any pectin so I let it thicken bit more than needed. Let it cool completely. It will stay good in the refrigerator up to a week. I made a big batch and did water bath canning process for longer self life. While jam is cooked wash the jars and lids dish detergent and water. Sterilize jars and lids by boiling them in a large pot for 15 minutes. Remove jars and keep them in the warm over until you are ready to fill with hot jam. Ladle hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Place lids and bands on jars. Twist on the bands until fingertip tight. I used a 6 quart stock pot and a simple rack for canning process. Place filled jars in the rack. Make sure jars are covered by 1-2 inches of water. Cover the pot with lid. Process jars in boiling water for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Remove lid and let jars stand for 5 minute. Using canning tong, remove jars from the hot water. Place the jars in a cool dark area undisturbed for 8 hours and they will seal completely.

Planting: First, select a spot where the tree will be in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and has plenty of open space. Allow at least 25 feet from structures, sidewalks, and driveways unless you plan to control the size of the tree by pruning regularly. And it's always good to be sure your area has well-draining soil. When you're ready to plant, make the hole three times wider than the root ball and three times as deep. Place the tree in the hole, and hold it straight as you backfill with the native soil that was removed. Finally, water to settle the roots and spread a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch around the area. If you're planting in a container, simply select a pot that's about twice as large as your plant's shipped container, use well-balanced potting soil, place your tree, backfill, and water. Then, place your Loquat in front of a sunny window indoors or in a sun-soaked spot on your porch. Note: This product grows best in well-draining soil. When you receive your plant, you may notice small, white beads or rocks in the soil - this medium is added to increase drainage and keep your plant happy and healthy! 2. Watering: Your new Loquat will benefit from a watering every other day for the first week and then 1 to 2 times a week for the first two months. Make sure to water once a week and more during extended periods of drought. During the rainy season, you should not have the need to water the tree at all. For indoor Loquats, simply check the soil with your index finger. If the soil is dry about 3 inches down, water your Loquat Tree 3. Fertilizing: Your Loquat will require a feeding three times yearly with lawn fertilizer. Use one cup of the fertilizer divided into three applications over the growing season. For the second and third years, increase the amount to 2 cups, spread the fertilizer on the ground and then water. If you’d rather use an organic method of feeding the tree, then use 2 to 3 pounds of aged manure, 2 tablespoons of greensand (a green-ish type of sandstone) and a tablespoon of rock phosphate. 4. Pruning: During its first couple of years, the Loquat will benefit from a bi-monthly trimming of the branch tips. Keeping them shorter than 3 feet forces the loquat to sprout more branches, which in turn makes more growth surfaces for the fruit. And remove dead twigs, branches, and leaves as early as possible.
