How bizarre! I was at a very beautiful house yesterday. The garden was enchanting, full of beautiful specimen trees. One in particular caught my eye because it’s coloured leaves and it’s slightly otherworldly fruits. For the life of me I couldn’t remember the name of it. Thanks for clearing that up Mark. Now I know what to do with them too! Your description of the leaves is genius.
Picking this weekend, this is a perfect solution of what to make as I’ve got oodles of quince jelly already. I’ve just stocked up on my sheriff badges too (best description ever) x
Will definitely try this as the branches of my tree are aching with fruit. Have only made medlar jelly previously and jolly delicious it is too, especially in yoghurt or added to lamb or chicken gravy. Any other suggestions gratefully received.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I love medlar jelly but don't eat much jelly so it was fun coming up with another way of using the firmer fruit. I love the sound of that iced medlar thing too!
MARK, YOUR WRITING !!!!!
It is x
Thank you thank you both of you - that anyone enjoy it makes it completely worthwhile x

Hello Lynne
The link in the post should take you to the medlar sticky toffee pudding recipe and I really recommend Jane Steward's brilliant book about medlars
