i think that's what i'd do with them as well...not quite sure i can bring myself to actually allow fruit to rot before i eat it
Bletting isn't the same as rotting.
Fruit have two ways of spreading seeds; plan A is to be eaten and deposited elsewhere in a nice pile of fertiliser. Plan B happens if you don't get eaten; you start producing enzymes to break down the fruit and allow the seed to escape, in a fruit that very soon will rot. It's like when a tomato has gone soft but hasn't gone moldy yet, or when a banana goes soft and black.
Rot only sets in if afterwards, or if the fruit is damaged in some way.
close enough for me though i will eat blackening bananas in banana bread and will juice tomatoes that are getting a bit overipe but medlars are just so gross looking already... i think i'd need to try them cooked in something first then i might change my mind
