Loquat Cheese Pie

Happy National Homemade Pie Day! If you enjoyed baking over the weekend, the perfect time to enjoy baking  isn’t done yet! 

 

And let me tell you…this is my final post about loquats this season. These yummy fruit allowed me to enjoy the tasty fruit as dessert and ingredients for baking goodies and left me such a sweet memory this year. I thought I could make more yummy treats to expand my repertoire of loquats, but well, this is the final post about loquat this year…I wish I had harvested more fighting birds and squirrels haha!

<Cooking Tips>

You can make fillings by using a food processor, but this time the amount was small so I chose just mixing them by myself. If you’re making a big batch, it’s better to use a food processor by thinking about elbow grease when mixing them!

I hope you miss loquat just like me! And since this year’s cherry season is also ending, I’m like “sigh…can I still survive this year without them?” My dinner buddy heard it, and he was like “Yes of course! Peaches are still here, oranges, figs…anything!” As soon as I heard it, I was like “yeah you’re right. Next loquat season will be here before I know it.”

 

What’s your favorite fruit? Does it go well with pies?

Enjoy National Homemade Pie Day, everyone!
