Bletting

/ˈblɛtɪŋ/ noun, verb

Definition

The process by which certain fruits, particularly medlars, soften and develop flavor through controlled overripening; present participle of blet.

Etymology

From French 'blettir' plus present participle suffix '-ing'. Describes the natural ripening process.

Kelly Says

Bletting is nature's own fermentation—it's like the fruit is composting itself slightly to become delicious. Medieval cooks understood bletting so well that they'd specifically pick medlars to blet before serving them at fancy dinners!
