The medlar weren’t really available for tasting. They need to blett first. They are typically described as looking and tasting like spiced apples sauce. The bletting process turns the edible portion inside to mush.
Glad the festival went well. I was looking forward to coming down but had to cancel last minute. I echo the recommendation of this festival. It really is like Disneyland for fruit lovers.
I would call it a very small amount of spiced apple sauce You don’t get very much goo from each fruit. My medlars got too much fireblight so I had to get rid of them.
While going to the HOS’s “All About Fruit Show” in the Fall,there is usually One Green World’s Harvest Festival,which coincides on a weekend.There are a lot of fruit goodies to try there also and the locations are about 10-15 miles apart. Brady
