Medlar Fruit
Medlar trees have been cultivated for thousands of years as an ornamental cultivar, and there are many different varieties, with royal and nottingham being the most widely grown types. These delicious fruit have been around since times of the Roman Empire!
These delectable fruits have ovate shape with a distinct, open blossom end bearing multiple sepals. When unripe, the fruits have firm, taut, and textured skin, ranging in color from golden, light brown, to orange-brown. Medlar fruits when ripened develop a wrinkled skin and the flesh turns hues of brown with a very creamy texture and consistency. When fully ripe you can expect to experience a flavor similar to applesauce or apple butter and have a tangy and sweet taste with subtle notes of cinnamon, vanilla, apples, and citrus.
Medlar fruits can be eaten raw on their own, discarding the skin and consuming the flesh, or they can be stewed or baked into sweet applications such as tarts, pies, and cakes. Medlar fruits also make a rich fruit jelly that can be spread on toast or stuffed into baked apple.
