Default Medlar jelly (crossposted)

There are a (very) few apples with a low chill requirement that might work
for you. I have no idea of their quality, however.

I would love to taste a medlar if anyone is growing them in Massachusetts.
"Blett" is such a wonderful word!

I do have a Smyrna quince tree. It is a shame, but quince is also a rarity
nowadays.
