I thought that the reasons Medlars are too hard to ship to market seeing as
they have to be bletted - which means when they would hit the market when
they're underripe (so are tomatoes, I know) or ripe, when they are,IIRC,
extremely soft.

although if anyone knows of any medlar jelly sources, I would love to know
of them.
