4 lb Loquats; partially ripe
1 c Boiling water
1 Lemon; sliced
1 c Vinegar
1 tb Whole cloves
3 Cinnamon sticks
4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
Wash loquats, remove seeds and measure 2 quarts.
Steam in the boiling water for 3 minutes to prevent
shriveling. Add remaining ingredients and boil 10
minutes.
Let stand overnight. Bring to a boil again, and
cook until syrup is thick. Pour into hot sterilized
jars, and seal. Makes about 5 (1/2-pint) jars.
