Medlars really, seriously, are a great little fruit. I pick them after we've had a couple of light frosts. The bletted texture - it's stiff and toothy and sticky, not gooey. The taste is apple butter like, with a tiny hint of clean chalk to let you know what you're eating is not rotten but perfect. If you were to sieve out the five stones from the fruits and incorporate the mash into a cake or bread, it would be fantastic.
