Before you jump to Loquat jam recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Simple Ways to Be Healthy.

Everyone knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a wholesome and balanced diet and get a proper level of exercise. The is that, at the end of the day, we don't always have the time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. When our work day is finished, most people do not wish to go to the gym. People crave salty and sweet, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making wise decisions doesn’t have to be a pain. With training you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some of the best ways to be healthy and balanced.

Walk up the stairs. Rather than riding an elevator, climb up the stairs to the floor you live or work on. While this will be difficult to do if you live on or if your job is on a extremely high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is totally do-able. Even if your office or home is on one of the top floors, you can decide to get off of the elevator early and take the stairs the rest of the way. Lots of people opt for the easy elevator ride instead of making an effort on the stairs. That just one flight of stairs—when taken a handful of times a day—can be just the additional boost that your system needs.

There are all sorts of activities that you can do to get healthy and balanced. Intensive gym visits and narrowly defined diets are not always the solution. You can do small things each day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Being intelligent about the choices you make each day is a start. Wanting to get in as much exercise as possible is another. Remember: being healthy and balanced isn’t just about losing weight. It has more to do with making your body as sturdy as it can be.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let's go back to loquat jam recipe. To make loquat jam you need 6 ingredients and 16 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

The ingredients needed to prepare Loquat jam:

1. You need 1 kg of loquats (peeled, only the flesh).
2. Use 800 g of sugar (you can use less).
3. Use 2 of apples (green).
4. Use 2 of lemons (make sure that they are unwaxed).
5. Get 1 of (or two, depending on taste) tsp cinnamon powder.
6. Provide of water (1 cup, maybe slightly more).

Steps to make Loquat jam:

1. So, I went down to the garden and picked 2 kg (and a little more) of loquats, the ripest on the tree..
2. Using a pointy knife (so that it picks the skin easily) that's also small (to be used easily) remove the skin of the loquats..
3. Then, cut the loquats in half and remove the seeds and as much of the hard part that surrounds them. Then, cut into smaller pieces..
4. So, you are left with something like a kg of pure fruit flesh. If you use store-bought loquats, that have been cultivated, the useful quantity will surely be larger..
5. Using the widest pot availabe, pour in the sugar, the apples, peeled and cut into thick slices, a glass of water (plus slightly more) and the loquats..
6. Remove the peel off the lemons as well as the pith..
7. Wash the peel thoroughly and using a small and pointy knife cut them into very thin strips of about matchbox size (though thinner). Add them to the pot to caramelize together with the fruit..
8. If you like a vanilla aroma, you can add a little at this stage. I used cinnamon which I added later on..
9. Place the pot over heat, cover with the lid, set to low heat and relax with a cup of coffee..
10. You should check on your pot from time to time, to see when the fruit is mashed. Make sure to stir it with a wooden spoon occasionally so that it doesn't stick. That took about 45 minutes (loquats proved to be hard, maybe it was my fault for keeping the heat too low)..
11. The good housewifes of olden times used to pass these mashed fruits from a sieve to get a thicker pulp. I personally prefer a more firm texture with the pieces of fruit tender enough for you to feel them. So, I passed it through a food mill..
12. Then I added the cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla and let everything simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes shaking the pot (not stirring with a wooden spoon) so that the jam doesn't stick to the bottom. Halfway through that, add the juice from the peeled lemons..
13. To check if the jam has set, there are various methods. I usually use that of the drop (place a drop of jam -a very small quantity- on a small plate and place it in the fridge. After a while remove it and tip it slightly. If the drop doesn't move or moves slowly, it's ready. In any other case repeat the process until you realize that the jam has set. You can also check the newest tip from  sitronella, here..
14. Fill your jars almost to the top (I had 4 of 500 g each). I also added a little liqueur on the top to cover the jam (we have so much sour cherry liquer that we use it in everything that we make). It doesn't allow air to get to the jam and I personally like the taste..
15. Cut pieces of greaseproof paper as many as the jars, slighly larger than the mouth of the jar and place them under the lid before you close it so that it is firmly sealed..
16. The jam is ready to consume even on the next day. But remember, you made it to preserve the fruits not consume it while there are still fresh fruits available..
