    Medlar Jelly - David Lebovitz
    Medlar fruit, once "bletted" (over-ripened), has a unique, complex flavor often described as a mix of spiced apple butter, dates, caramel, and wine. It is commonly compared to a "toffee apple" or sweet pear with hints of citrus and apricot. The texture is creamy and soft, acting like a puree. 
    Key Flavor Profile and Characteristics: 
    • Taste Profile: A sweet and tangy blend of caramel, apple, and spices, strongly resembling dates.
    • Bletting Process: Medlars are picked when hard and astringent, then left to sit (blet) for weeks until they look rotten, which transforms the flesh into a brown, soft, sweet pulp.
    • Culinary Uses: Often used in jams, jellies, or consumed directly, providing a rich, custardy flavor.
    • Texture: Creamy, thick, and jam-like.
    • Aroma: Strongly aromatic with fruity notes. 
    Historically popular in medieval times, this fruit offers a unique, nostalgic flavor profile that pairs well with desserts or can be eaten with a spoon.

    What does a medlar taste like?
    Although they look like they have spoiled, which goes some way to explaining why you probably won't find ripe medlars on supermarket shelves, they are delicious if you're willing to try them. Their flesh tastes of apple puree with undertones of citrus, date and apricot.
