I have medlars and have bletted many of them.  The hybrid just gets drier and mealier.

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.
