Eastgate Larder is the UK’s medlar preserves specialist. Based in Norfolk, Jane Steward curates the UK’s National Collection of medlar trees planted by her at her Eastgate home.
She uses her own fruit and medlars from other Norfolk gardens to make medlar jelly and medlar fruit cheese. These are sold across England in specialist cheese and independent fine food shops. Medlar preserves are delicious with cheese, charcuterie and game.
A limited edition of spicy medlar chutney is available between May and December. May 2021 sees the launch of Norfolk Medlar Gin in collaboration with Norfolk Gin, the county’s first artisan gin maker.
