  1. Yes, loquat seeds/pits can make you sick if you eat mass quantities of. You can use them to make loquat grappa or liquor...but you are only soaking seeds, not eating the seeds. Haven't tried this recipe yet..but definitely use flesh/pulp to make loquat simply syrups for use in cocktails or iced tea. And have a couple of jars of seeds w/ grain alcohol shelved till Xmas, to give the liquor as gifts. So now will try this but think if canning(to make shelf stable) will add a bit of citrus juice(lemon or lime) or even citric acid to keep color from darkening.
     
  2. First - the comment that Lowquat pits are toxic is ridiculous! This comment should be removed from this recipe. Our Jelly turned out fantastically! After cooking the fruit, on a low simmer, for about one hour, I used an immersion blender on the mixture. I removed the Cinnamon stick before blending the fruit. We then strained the blended fluid through a wire sieve and filled five 8 ounce jars. We boiled the jars and lids to sterilize them. The finished product was then refrigerated.
     
  3. WARNING! This recipe instructs you to cook some of the pits along with the loquats. But loquat pits are toxic.
     
  4. Super jam. I love loquats, loquat liqueur, and the people of Bermuda. Try this jam as it is superb.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<a href="http://bp-grafix.net/sitebuilder"target=new><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i185/glittergus/icons/i.gif" border=0></a> I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005. I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well. I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-) I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'. <a href="http://bp-grafix.net/sitebuilder"target=new><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i185/glittergus/icons/g5.gif" border=0></a> I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">
