Honey Bourbon Caramel Loquat Apple Pie

The loquats are in season (well, mostly), so I decided to make a Honey Bourbon Caramel Loquat Apple Pie. With a touch of bourbon, because that was in the recipe I was adapting.

Loquat-Cherry Pie with Sourdough Pate Brisee

This is mostly about the sourdough pie crust. I happened to make a loquat cherry filling to go in it.

Frosted Mini Chocolate Cakes (with Loquat and Cherries)

I was trying to use some frozen loquats. I had about 10 cups frozen. I thawed them in 1 cup of water in a large pot for a few minutes, and then pitted them (just by cutting of blossom end and squishing out seeds). I mixed in 2 cups of frozen sweet cherries, and about 1/2 cup of sugar. I cooked the fruit up a bit to reduce it - still seemed very thin. I decided to use it as a glaze on some mini chocolate cakes.

Loquat Mini Pies

These are the follow up Loquat Mini Pies for snacks at social hour. (The Loquat Tart recipe was just a practice run...)



There are still plenty of loquats on the tree if you want some.

Loquat Tarts

I made loquat tarts for Terry and Peggy - does this mean I may be loquatious?
(The fruit here is loquat - not kumquat!)
