🍯 Loquat Immune-Boosting Jam

Ingredients

• 1 kg ripe loquats (about 2.2 lbs), peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1 cup raw honey (or ¾ cup raw sugar if preferred)
• Juice and zest of 1 large lemon

   Lower heat and stir in honey and turmeric. Continue simmering 15–20 minutes until thickened.
   (To test: place a spoonful on a cold plate—if it gels slightly, it’s ready.)

   Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Seal tightly.
   For long-term storage, process jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.

6. Cool and store
