I had another go at Medlar Jelly. This time I included a load of unripe Medlars, fresh from the tree, when I made the juice.
It set perfectly.
I forgot to remove the foam (or scum as it's described in jammy books), which is a bit unfortunate. Still, I'l be the only one eating it, and I know it's foam not mould.
I also made a second medlar tart. lime juice instead of lemon this time. It was absolutely delicious.
Sadly the remainder of the medlar puree met its demise in a vacuum sealing incident. Such a waste!
The tart success has made me keen to harvest the medlars this year. DH said he read somewhere that Medlars are biennial, so I'll probably freeze them and use them next year if we don't get any medlars.
I'm now onto dealing with the Quince harvest. even as I type, I'm extracting the juice from a few to make quince jelly. The smell is divine.
