Medlars were a small fruit that was found in medieval times.  You can
grow it in the U.S. as far north as Michigan, I think.  It looks like a
small hard pear, but needs to be bletted ( allowed to soften, almost
start to spoil) to eat. Small winter pears are similiar to Medlars.

I think they made a Medlar pudding.  Does anyone grow them?
