Medlars?

Erichalfbee · Nov 21, 2014

I have just sieved a couple of kilos of medlars to make some cheese. I thought I'd add some spice to half. Has anybody made spiced medlar cheese? I thought maybe some clove and allspice :thanks:

I considered using this recipe but the mess put me off, I am sure a few cloves or Cinnamon would be OK.

I can't put the full address in but if you do a google search for Medlar Cheese you will find it.

If you've done the sieving you've done the worst part haven't you? I never got as far as making the cheese, but did make some thick spiced sauce one year, which I put in jars, and which I thought had a really good flavour. Very good warmed up and with ice cream!

I used mostly allspice, I think, after looking at a recipe on (now can I put in most of an address? Loved this site!) http://www.historicfood.com/

I thought it was beekeepers who can't stop peeping into their hives winter time
