Christmas Medlar Jelly Recipe

The final thing we did in the frenzy of activity before I came away was process two more batches of medlar jelly. We have left a number to 'blet' which is basically leaving them to rot. They are meant to be very tasty they, but it is hard to imagine. We made a batch of normall jelly and one of Christmas Jelly.

For the Christmas Jelly we followed the same recipe as before but at the beginning added 2 sticks of cinamon, 5 cloves and 3 star anise to the medlars. This was strained out with the medlar pulp and the recipe continued as before.
I did do it slightly differently as I used our fruit press to extract more juice from the fruit. It worked very well and I can recommend it. However you don't need to do this.
