Loquat - a fruit related to the apple and pear - not the kumquat. Trees have glossy dark leaves and grow in dwarf size or up to 25' tall. Israel is the 2nd largest producer of loquats.

Peeled and seeded fruits are eaten fresh, sometimes combined with sliced banana, orange sections and grated coconut(Yum!). They are delicious simply stewed with a little sugar added. The fruits are also used in gelatin desserts or as pie-filling, or are chopped and cooked as a sauce. Some people prepare spiced loquats (with cloves, cinnamon, lemon and vinegar) in glass jars. The fruit is also made into jam and, when slightly underripe, has enough pectin to make jelly.

Thank you Pam for the explanation – Loquat is a very sweet orange fruit indeed!
I shall tell Shesek about all your complements, I amm sure he shall send you all a big kiss.

Shesek is adorable!

We used to have loquat trees in our back yard when I was younger. Sometimes when the fruit would fall from the tree to our roof, it would be so loud it would frighten us. Mom made great jelly from it. I can't wait to tell her that she used to make shesek jelly.
