[Sca-cooks] Medlars

Greetings,
Does anyone on the list have any experience cooking medlars? Are they
worth it, or is this a fruit that was cooked in period because they
were around and people were frugal?
I'm tempted to get a medlar tree, but the whole bletting thing (letting
the fruit rot slightly to make it edible) sounds awkward and its
occasional nickname ("open-arse fruit") is rather unappealing.
A good description of the medlar (and source for trees) can be found
here:
