Yum! Love loquats so much. Ivan goes around the neighborhood scoping out the best trees to trade eggs for fruit. We have a tiny volunteer growing in an awkward "loquation" that I need to transplant.

I just rub them on my jeans to polish them, and pop em in my mouth, lol, the seeds were brilliant for spitting wars in childhood. :)

I have read that it is a relative of the apple, native to China. It is supposed to be very high in pectin, so @dawg-boy's jam is ideal (why haven't I tried any, bro???)
