Tips

Use ripe but firm loquats for the best texture.

Don’t overcook — they should stay slightly firm.

Add lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.

If you prefer a thicker syrup, simmer longer until it slightly reduces.

Serve chilled for a refreshing summer treat or warm over pancakes.
