Mespilus germanica - The forgotten open arse fruit

[@silence8806]

Awesome video. In Saarland germany, a schnapps (spirits) is made from the fruit of the medlar, which is refined with hawthorn. The schnapps is called "Hundsärsch" (that is german, meaning: dog's arse), which is also the regional name for the fruit of the medlar. :o)

In England, I generally wait until they start "bletting" on the tree. Even if they just start bletting they'll finish in a few days. Enjoying them more and more. This year, once bletted I froze a bunch whole. I let them thaw when I fancy one then peel it and eat the pulp (but spit out the seeds). Delicious

Have a great evening 💚🫂

[@wildfidelia]

thanks you too have a lovely evening 🥰🥰

[@Rikki.64]

Mespilus Germanica (or Crataegus Germanica) is actually related to Hawthorn and Mayflower

[@Rikki.64]

I had spiced medlar loaf cake, in a cheese shop tasting evening once

[@Rikki.64]

but can't remember what spices they used to go with the medlars

Are you sure it’s not bredase reus you are harvesting 😅🥰🥰🥰🥰 same plant different version 😅

[@wildfidelia]

ah yes the tree I harvested could be the "Bredase reus" cultivar 🥰🤗 but I must say it gets a little confusing when you start looking at different cultivars, I admit I get a bit lost🤭

[@Rikki.64]

Medler Mespilus Germanica “Bredase Reus” is just one of over half a dozen cultivars of Mespilus Germanica, but still Mespilus Germanica.

[@wildfidelia]

@@Rikki.64 yes very true it's still the same plant, just modified by man to suit its needs 🤗🥰

[@nickvrolix4609]

It makes a huge difference as some taste sweet and some tast wry …. 🤭🥰🥰
