Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs loquats, halved and de-seeded
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the halved and de-seeded loquats to a large saucepan. Add enough water just to cover the loquats. Bring to a boil, once boiling, reduce heat and allow loquats to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Loquats should be tender but intact
- Drain water from the loquats. Place loquats in a high powered blender and blend until desired consistency is reached (I like mine smooth but it can be chunky as well)
- Put loquat puree back to the saucepan. Add in the honey and lemon juice and stir well to combine. Heat over a medium heat until the butter has thickened slightly, stirring often to prevent burning on the bottom. This should take 15-20 mins
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before transferring to glass jars and storing in the fridge
