What's this? Fruit from medlar bushes (Mespilus germanica). How do they taste? Sort of like cinnamon-y applesauce.

Britain’s Forgotten Fruit
The #medlar - Britain's forgotten #fruit #gardening
Nothing if not versatile, the fruit of the medlar (Mespilus germanica)could be skinned and served individually with cream, baked with apple, stewed with butter, or roasted over an open fire. It was an ideal ingredient for cakes and tarts and was often made into jams, marmalades, and jellies.

learned of a new fruit today: the medlar (Mespilus germanica).
Tumblr media
unsurprisingly in the family Rosaceae, because what isn't? but not only is this a completely unfamiliar fruit to me, it also undergoes a process i've never heard of: bletting.
Tumblr media
this is actually crazy, why is no one talking about bletting?? seems like it used to be a well-known process in like shakespeare's time but it's just not really a thing when it comes to fruit consumption in the modern u.s.
