Two of our loquat trees yielded more fruit than we knew what to do with. So we looked up a recipe for chutney and canned as much of it as possible. Turns out, loquats were going wild all over Austin this year. I tried giving away loquats, but I discovered that many people didn’t know what they were. Those who seemed most interested in our fruit were Mexican neighbors who knew loquats as “nÃsperos.”
