Medlar Tootsie Rolls at Proof Bakery
Here's a little fuel for the fire of our slow-burning medlar obsession. About a week-and-a-half ago, Proof Bakery in Atwater Village began selling medlar "Tootsie Rolls" made by Jessica Koslow of Sqirl. Made from the ancient and rare fruit (rare in Southern California, anyway), the chewy little candies sell for $2.50 each and have been described as tasting like spiced apple, dates, honey and autumn leaves.

Last month, Karen Klemens, who is, like Koslow, a Master Food Preserver, made a batch of medlar ice cream for her Sierra Madre ice cream shop Mother Moo Creamery.
