To Preserve Grekngaces

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Choose the largest greengages when they begin to soften.

  2. Split them without peeling and sprinkle with half the measured sugar.

  3. Blanch the kernels with a small sharp knife.

  4. The next day, pour the syrup from the fruit and boil it with the remaining sugar for 6 to 8 minutes.

  5. Skim the syrup and add the plums and kernels.

  6. Simmer until clear, removing any scum that rises.

  7. Place the fruit in small pots and pour the syrup and kernels over them.
