Resi just googled the medlars seems they make good jelly they add lemon and sugar and apparently sets well,they use it to accompany cheese and the like,there are a number of receipts to be had.Makes my mouth water and brings back memories of 60+ years ago.

Used to love these as a child when they were ripe,not seen a tree for years.Do you use them for cooking.
