Mispeloogst! Nou ja, een eerste plukrondje. Het gaat worden: kersttaart-vulling!
(Mince pies). Mispelpuree, dadels, amandelen, rozijnen, krenten, suiker, heel veel kruiden, sinaasappel- en cirtroenrasp en sap, boter.
Het is nu allemaal door elkaar
gehusseld, moet een nacht staan,
dan morgen 3 uur in de oven en
daarna 1-3 maanden in potten
Ben zo benieuwd! Edit: likeur vergeten! Hop. Overeind!

Bruine mispels in een rvs bak. Ze zie er bruin en rond uit en het kroontje lijkt een beetje op dat van een rozenbottel, maar dan aan de onderkant.
De mispel germanica is een telg uit de rozenfamilie (appel en peer ook overigens).
Daarnaast is ie als inheems te beschouwen hier en heb ik nog nooit zoveel kleine ieniemienie beestjes in m'n vergiet gehad. Honderden!! (Wel zielig voor ze want nu zijn ze wrs dood).
Inheemse planten hebben sowieso een sterkere binding met t ecosysteem, dus het hoort helemaal dat daar veel beestjes in/op/aan zitten.

Rvs aanrecht met daarop allerlei bakjes en schaaltjes met daarop dadels, stem gember, amandelen, bruine suiker, kruiden, citroenrasp.

Rvs bak met geroerzeefde mispels. (Dus ontdaan van pitten en velletjes)

Alle ingrediënten fijn gehakt en door de puree gemengd

myslím, že mišpule jsem předtím nikdy v reálu neviděl... jen jsem nějak věděl, že je to nějaký strom s nějakým ovocem...

A mild autumn has persuaded our medlar tree to re-bloom this autumn. The first of a heavy crop of medlars are just about to fall. We have only had one mild frost so far. You can see one fallen medlar on the ground in the blossom photo. #medlar #autumn #Wairarapa #cider #fruit #blossom

This is not a great advertisement for a fruit variety, LOL. #gardening #fruit #medlar

...the French also called it by a variety of equally delicious vulgarism such as "la partie posterierer de ce quadrupede" (the posterior part of this quadruped), "cu d'singe" (monkey's bottom) "cu d'ane" (donkey's bottom), and "cul de chien" (dog's bottom)

Fruits of Beau Vista orchards. Apart from Cider apples and perry pears we grow medlars to add to Teepee Cider cider, as is recorded in the golden age of cider making -the C17th. Good crop this year and new trees have been plan to increase the crop. #medlar #cider #orchards #apple

@PhoenixSerenity

I'm intrigued.

Useful website said go for the "Dutch" variety.

Going to check with my local nursery.

Also this...

Stern's Medlar (Mespilus canescens) native to the US, but...

"The known range of Mespilus canescens is within the 22-acre Konecny Grove Natural Area."

...and nowhere else! Wow!!

Cool. It is possible to narrow it down. Too many refs, so I'm including the whole query...

Never heard of Medlar before, very interesting...

Thanks!

Medlar updates. One petal left. The medlars are now all set. Looks like it will be a good crop. The four newly grafted medlars are all making good growth. And finally the barrel co-fermented cider with medlars from the harvest last autumn is tasting great. Now bottled for secondary fermentation. #medlar #cider #blossom

Busy day at the cidery, bottling the French oaked cider and the medlar cofermented cider for their second in-bottle fermentation. Special releases for 2026. Tasting petty good now. #cider #medlar #oak #SecondaryFermentation #MethodTraditonal #FWCMA

An English Florilegium is an outstandingly example of botanical illustration - an art form in which the English have excelled for ages. The exquisite paintings reproduced in this large book demonstrate, that the traditional skills, exceptional artistry combine perfectly with scientific accuracy. Paintings by Mary Grierson based on plants described by the Trandescants. And a great introduction on the Tradescants and their legacy. Check out the medlar. #florilegium #grierson #book #medlar

The medlar/quince root stock whip grafts have taken. The medlar buds are swelling. 😊 #medlar #quince #rootstock #grafting #cider #orchard #husbandry #NewZealand #Aotearoa #Spring

Amazing appearance as the medlar blossom unfurls. Just beautiful. #medlar #orchard #TeePeeCider

Grafting time. My friend supplied me with some quince rootstock C and BA29 for grafting medlar onto. Need to increase my medlar supply for the cider blend. Grafts look promising only a week after whip grafting. #grafting #orchard #medlar #quince

Bletted medlar pulp to be added to the cider. Organic grown at Beau Vista orchards. Medlar or Mespilus germanica, is a small pome fruit bearing tree in the large rose family Rosaceae to which apples pears quince hawthorn also belong. #cider #medlar

I cannot find evidence that early cider makers added medlars to cider it’s likely that they did. In the C17th but a lot of additives were used. Esp beetroot for colour. And pear in the cider for sweetness. I used 5% medlar juice in this cider in 2023. Tastes delicious. Like a mild quince flavour with some tropical fruits. This is years medlar crop. Just falling now about 6 weeks after the Apple harvest. And perhaps that is the reason it’s use is not recorded. #cider #medlar

#Medlar (Mespilus germanica) flowers. The air was redolent of their fragrance.

#Mespilus germanica, #medlar awaiting bletting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletting
Once they have bletted (have blet?) the inside is mushy like apple sauce, and you can squeeze it out and eat it out of hand or use it for various kinds of preserve.

A metal tray mostly covered in round brown fruit that are smooth at the stem end but at the flower end have a curious sort of indentation with five persistent sepals curled over it.

Closeup of the fruit from the side. You can see where some of them are beginning to blet (the dark spots).

A branch with a cluster fo the fruit still on it, on a black cloth. They persist on the tree until well after the leaves are gone, into December or later.

Closer view of the branch from a different angle.

All set for this year's medlar harvest, including the weather❄️🌨
#forgottenfruits #medlar

A branch with snow-covered leaves and medlars hanging from it.

I picked up some medlar at the Bellingham Farmers Market, but they need to go through the bletting process (aka, go rotten) for a few weeks before the fruit's interior is ready to eat and/or use in jams or fruit butter.

Medlar, aka "open-arse fruit," were popular for centuries and featured in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," but they fell out of fashion and mostly forgotten about by the 1950s.
