Medlar Jelly with Chilli

Experience the “forgotten fruit” with a bold, modern twist. Hand-crafted in small batches on our farm, our Medlar with Chilli Jelly is made the traditional way: using fruit from our own orchards, pure Cornish spring water, a touch of sugar, and a kick of heat. No shortcuts—just slow-cooked perfection on the hob.

The Flavor Profile

Building on our 2024 Taste of the West Gold Award-winning recipe, this jelly is as beautiful as it is vibrant. It glows with a smooth, jewel-like transparency, now infused with the warmth of sun-ripened chillies. Expect a sophisticated palate of spiced apple and floral notes—reminiscent of toffee apples and dates—balanced by a gentle, lingering heat that perfectly complements the hints of cinnamon and allspice.

The Perfect Pairing

• The Ultimate Cheese Board: A stunning companion to sharp Cheddar or creamy Blue cheese. The addition of Medlar with Chilli provides a sweet-and-spicy contrast that is the perfect conversation starter for an evening of port and fine cheese.

• The Savoury Kitchen: Elevate a classic Ploughman’s lunch or serve alongside roast pork, chicken, or rich pâtés. The subtle chilli warmth cuts through the richness of the meat beautifully.

• The Secret Ingredient: Stir a spoonful of Medlar with Chilli into your Sunday roast gravy for a rich, complex depth of flavour with a sophisticated spicy undertone.
