There are a lot of fruits with high sugar content naturally, among them and to name a few we have bananas, bananas, watermelon, figs, grapes, oranges and loquats, which often require restrictions in the diet of diabetic patients. Today's recipe is to participate in the contest "The Brand New PLANT BASED challenge: Fruity… but savoury!", inspired by this contest I bring you a recipe made with one of the sweetest fruits I have ever tasted, the loquat, a fruit with an important contribution of fiber and potassium.

Quise preparar un postre y se me ocurrió hacer una mermelada casera a base de nísperos, a la cual quise agregar un poco de jugo de maracuyá o parchita para lograr un contraste armonioso al paladar; lo mas importante de esta receta es que no lleva azúcar o cualquier tipo de edulcorante, ya que el níspero es bastante dulce, que al ser cocinado se hace mucho dulce, al grado de empalagar, siendo la parchita una fruta cítrica y acida al ser mezclados y cocinados juntos, crean un matrimonio perfecto de sabores.
I wanted to prepare a dessert and it occurred to me to make a homemade medlar jam, to which I wanted to add a little passion fruit or parchita juice to achieve a harmonious contrast to the palate; the most important thing about this recipe is that it does not contain sugar or any type of sweetener, since the medlar is quite sweet, which when cooked becomes very sweet, to the point of being cloying, being the parchita a citric and acid fruit when mixed and cooked together, they create a perfect marriage of flavors.

Wash and peel the loquats, remove the seeds, and place them in a frying pan. With the help of a fork, mash them until there are no lumps.

Por otra parte preparamos el jugo de parchita, colocamos el vaso de agua en la licuadora y el contenido de las parchitas, licuamos y colamos.
On the other hand, prepare the parchita juice, place the glass of water in the blender and the contents of the parchitas, blend and strain.

Llevamos el sartén con los nísperos al fuego y agregamos el jugo, cocinamos a fuego lento por unos 15 minutos sin dejar de remover, en este tiempo se secara el jugo, se tornara con una consistencia espesa y cremosa.
We take the pan with the loquats to the fire and add the juice, cook over low heat for about 15 minutes stirring constantly, during this time the juice will dry, it will become thick and creamy.

Lo retiramos del fuego, dejamos reposar y luego envasamos en un recipiente de vidrio con tapa, lo llevamos al refrigerador para que se enfrié.

As always I gave it to my star tasters, since they are the ones who give the approval to my recipes; not to brag but my children loved it, the funniest was Juan Andrés who I gave him to try a little and he started to cry for me to give him the jar hahahaha.
