To Make a Tart of Medlers
Take Medlers that be rotten, and stamp them, and set them upon a chafin-dish with coales, and beat in two yolks of Eggs, boyling till it be somewhat thick, then season it with Sugar, Cinamon, and Ginger, and lay it in paste.
If you are looking for an alternative to pumpkin pie this year (or maybe an addition to pumpkin pie), might we suggest medlars? Medlars, or Mespilus germanica, are members of the rose family and grow on deciduous trees. The fruit must be bletted, or over-ripe, before eating and will look soft, wrinkly, and rotten. The taste? Like apple butter!
