Lon,
Have you ever processed the fruit by bletting?  When medlars are bletted
they transform into a gooey flavorful substance that is something like
applesauce.  Maybe this fruit would turn into something similar.

It sets a heavy crop of fruits that look like large, slightly russeted
hawthorns with open calyxes. They might work for jelly, but they are
rather dry for anything else.

Does your Crataegomespilus produce fruit? If so, does it have any
