Saturday, I headed over to my friends house, to help her pick her loquats. Unfortunately, she pruned the hell out of it over the Winter, and incorrectly. All the lower and inner branches were gone, so all the fruit was way up high. We got what we could, and she gave me all of it:

From that, I made loquat preserves, with lemongrass:

I put the peels in some white rum, along with the lemongrass stalks. We'll see how that turns out:

I'm also drying to pits, to make an amaretto-like liqueur:

I know, they contain cyanide. Hey, I like to live dangerously.
