How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Laura007]

what on earthe do you do with them. i know they have to be bletted, but what then???

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I had to Google "medlars" AND "bletted" so can't help you there .

Some people eat them like that - as a fruit - with cheese.....or you can make a jelly in the same way as Quince or Crab Apples.

 

We're just waiting for delivery of a Medlar tree.

Hugh FW had some recipes didn't he, on his new show?

Try his site Laura.

brilliant, thank you.

I made medlar jelly last year, but wouldn't bother again as it's fiddly and not especially special.

 

You need to blet them first or wait until after the first frost has softened them. They contain a large-ish stone and soft brown flesh, which looks disgusting. You need to squeeze the flesh out and use that to make the jelly. It's a rather messy process and I've done it once, but as I said, I wouldn't bother again.

I'd better hope that the tree is as pretty as its description then

[The Dogmother]

They are really pretty trees Lesley, just that I was disappointed with the fruit.

[Laura007]

i have got my medlars, just leaving them to go rotten. thats a very weird thing.

[The Dogmother]

If they have caught the frost then they should be OK Laura

 

I notice that someone has already stripped the tree that I emptied last year

 

I am thinking of getting a medlar tree for the garden just for the pretty tree and blossom - the hens can have the fruit!

Mine arrived yesterday Clare - Buckingham Nurseries - it's a lovely sized tree as well.

The apple man at Stratford market sells them; I might well invest next time I see one; I could do with a little tree on t'other side of the garden.

 

... the chooks can have the fruit
