How to Peel a Loquat - much

Method

• This is all you need.
• First, cut the the loquat in half, and twist the two sides apart.
• It easily splits in half.
• Remove the stem by pulling it off by hand.
• Peel off the skin before removing the seeds (this way, you can hold it tightly without the flesh falling apart).
• Remove the seeds.
• The white part around the seeds is the pesky astringent seed coat.
• Scoop out the seed coat with a tea spoon, starting from the bottom end of the fruit and moving toward the stem end.
• It's gone.
• (The tip of the seed coat is hard to get to, so pick it off by hand.)
• It's easy and pretty.
• (The flesh will turn brown soon after cutting the loquat open, so place them in a bowl of lemon water to maintain the color.)
• How can I use up all these loquats.
• Loquat jam.
• Here are dried loquats.
• Place them on a paper towel and microwave in short increments until dry (be careful not to burn them).
• They are even sweeter this way.
