Loquat Compote in 20 Minutes
I made compote with the loquats that grow in abundance in our garden.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Wash the loquats. This is about 600 g.
* Step 2
Put 1 cup (200 ml) of white wine in a pot.
* Step 4
Scoop out the seeds and bitter inside parts with a spoon.
* Step 5
Take off the end bit with the spoon at the same time. The photo shows the removed end bit and seeds.
* Step 6
Turn the loquat over and peel off the outer skin.
* Step 7
Take off the stem end too, and it's done. I used yurizumi'sas reference for prepping the loquats.
* Step 8
Dip the loquats in water with lemon juice in it (to rinse off them off), and put into the pot with the white wine.
* Step 9
All the loquats are in the pot now. If they are not covered, add some more white wine or water.
* Step 10
Add 1/2 cup (100 ml) of granulated sugar.
* Step 11
Simmer over medium heat for a bit less than 10 minutes, while removing the scum.
* Step 12
When your ladle becomes filled with scum.
* Step 13
It's better to add a bit more really.
* Step 14
If you blow on it, the surface scum will scatter. Repeat 2 to 3 times. This is after blowing on it once. You won't waste the syrup.
* Step 15
Turn the heat down to low, and cover the surface of the pot contents with a piece of paper towel or absorbent paper with a hole cut in the middle.
* Step 16
Cover with a lid that is left partially open, and simmer for another 10 minutes over low heat. You can stop cooking it before this step if you prefer.
* Step 18
Store them in jars that have been sterlized in hot water that is at least 80°C.
* Step 19
I put them in a jar. My famiy eats it with yogurt every morning.
