Oddly enough, you can buy MEDLAR JAM (they say it is comparable to apple 
butter) from Raintree Nursery.  You can order a catalog from their web 
site.  http://www.raintreenursery.com/
Here is the page to their food items, but for some reason I don't see the 
Medlar jam listed here.  It was quite expensive if I remember 
right.  Anyway, you could call them and ask if they still have any in stock 
for sale.

I never did get to order a tree or any jam.  I'm still working on my 
re-landscaping project though.  I just got in my two fig trees, and have to 
get them planted now.
