I found these at the market….
Anybody know their name? Do you have an idea what to do with them? Other thoughts?
Take a look at the comments and you will see that Apu left a comment with the right name. I xx’ed it out but I’m sending her a small prize. There are more prizes for more correct guesses.

In Dutch, they are called Nispers…..it took me a year to find out the English name – Loquats.The next time I see them, I’ll be buying them by the kilo to experiment!Welcome back, I’m sure you had a blast away!
It’s amazing that this one fruit has so many names. I am looking forward to cooking in my own kitchen.
I do remember the friut from my time in Israel. It’s called chesek there. In Italy it should be named “nespola” or in Germany “Mispel”
Great – Send me your snail mail address and a small prize will come your way,
XXXXXXX. Also used to make Japanese “plum” wine.
You got one name right – there is another. Send e your snail mail address and I’ll send you a prize.
This fruit is a XXXXXXX. I remember it from my childhood in Delhi. The only other place I have been able to find this was in Tooting Bec market in London, where it was worth its weight in gold!! They are delicious eaten chilled. Alternatively, if they are plenty and cheap you can make a jam with them.
Apu:)
well done–But in Sicily they have another name.. If you send me your snail mail address I’ll send you a little gift.
