On GQT this afternoon, a man was asking about some fruit and was
advised
to the above. What does it mean?

Certain fruits need to be bletted before they're fit to eat. That's to
say
that they need to ripen to the point of almost but not quite, rotten.
Medlars are a classic example of such treatment.-

Thanks. How do you know when they are 'bletted' before they 'go over'?

Experience?

Medlars go from golden skin and light flesh to brown skin and soft brown
flesh.


A case of for Bletter or worse?
