It's so delicious, I cried! I hadn't had high hopes because another canned fruit, a hawthorn one, was incredibly sour—it made my eyes water and my tongue hurt. Although the loquat canned fruit is delicious, I've had it before. And this bayberry canned fruit, being made from bayberries, is incredibly sweet and delicious. The liquid can even be drunk like plum juice. I'm so happy!
