A traditional jam of deep amber color prepared from the soft flesh of medlar, which ripens after the first frost. This rare autumn fruit adds a different, nostalgic taste to breakfast tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the medlar

25 min

Peel the ripe medlars and pass the flesh through a strainer to remove it from the core.

2

Mix with sugar

5 min

Mix the resulting medlar pulp with the sugar and transfer to a pot.

3

Bring to a boil

30 min

Boil the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens.

4

Thicken and jar it

10 min

Add the lemon juice and cinnamon and cook for a few more minutes. Important: check the consistency by dripping some onto a plate; fill sterilized jars while boiling hot and seal them.

Reminder

Important: Medlar is hard and sour before it ripens; jam should not be made until it has been left to ripen and soften. Contains no flour, milk, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool, dark place.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Straining the medlar's peel and core through a sieve makes the job easier. A pinch of cinnamon gives the jam a warm autumn aroma.
