Category: Fruits
The medlar (níspero) is a fruit tree of the Sapotaceae family, and its fruit has a particular sweet-and-bitter flavor. It's traditionally used to prepare sweets, drinks, and even savory dishes, making the most of that contrast that makes it so versatile in the kitchen. You can eat it fresh, cook it down in syrup for a homemade sweet, or blend it with a bit of water and sugar for a refreshing drink. Keep it at room temperature until ripe, then move it to the fridge to make it last longer.
