Steps

1

Wash the loquats thoroughly. Using a hair pin remove the seeds carefully so that you don't damage the loquats.
2

Fill a large pot with water up to the middle and add the juice of one lemon. Peel each loquat with a small knife and add them to the pot with the water and the lemon. You do that so that they don't brown.
3

When you have peeled them all, strain them, add them to the pot and cover them with sugar. Set them aside for about 5 hours or until the sugar dissolves.
4

Place them over heat and let them until the syrup thickens lightly. Remove from heat and leave them covered with a towel for 12 hours.
5

Then add the vanilla, place the pot over heat and continue thickening the syrup until it is done.
6

When they are ready, add the juice of half a lemon.
7

Take each loquat carefully, push in an almond, place them in jars and add the syrup!
