I hadn't heard about bletting before preserving. Does everyone here who
makes C mas preserves do that? Is the process and result the same as with
Medlar - or do they dry more?

I have many unselected (from Bear Creek) Cornus mas that reliably bear
fruit heavily every year without fail. As long as you allow them to
become bletted they make tremendous preserves, & all my eastern
european friends go crazy over the preserves. Mine all took about 4-5
years to begin bearing. They do get a bit of anthracnose on the trees
but it doesn't seem to effect the vigor of the trees.

I'm in z4b SW Wisconsin.
