INDEGENOUS FRUITS

Each season comes with different vegetables and fruits and wild loquat scientifically known as "UAPACA KIRKIANA".
In Shona language it is known as "MUZHANGE" it grows at medium altitudes in good rainfall areas free of frost. It is a fleshy round berry with tough reddish brown skin and a juicy yellow brown pulp. In rural areas some harvest these by digging holes around the tree so that when fruit are ripe they will fall into the holes for easy picking.  last year l started making jam and have been making it since
 Will share the recipe in the next post, below you can see photos of the fruit before its made into jam. The jam taste great on a piece of toast.
