Anyone use Medlar ?

After 4 years my tree produced about 5#. Now fully bletted they are ready for processing into a medlar-tarragon jelly for savory use. Anxious to see how this works. Any advice out there ?

HAve had so much fun with these old fashioned fruits....quince, medlar, gooseberry....guess who is drooling over the fruit catalogs...

Wow, thought I'd heard of most things but medlar is brand new to me. Must go look these up!

Medlar is the one I've not had. Jam makers Wilkins & Son produce a small amount of medlar jelly every year from their own trees but I've never found it on sale - though I've had their quince and their mulberry, (and gooseberry of course, but that's not an uncommon fruit here).

We have a couple of gooseberry bushes in the garden and I just love goosegogs..

My grandmother had a quince (japonica) bush --but I can't remember if I have had medlars. It seems to me that, at some point, I had medlar jelly. This looks familiar but I just don't know...
