Greengages (Stewed)

Ingredients

• One pound of Greengages
• Six ounces of Sugar
• A quarter of a pint of Water

Method

1. 1

   Put the greengages in a stewpan and pour over them sufficient water to cover them, and let them boil up quickly, and continue boiling, for a minute.

2. 2

   Now turn them carefully in a colander, and as soon as they are cool enough to touch, remove the skins; they will come off quite easily.

3. 3

   Make a syrup with the sugar and water, but do not let it boil after the sugar is melted.

4. 4

   As each greengage has the skin removed drop it into the syrup.

5. 5

   Bring them to boiling-point, but do not let them boil; they must simmer very gently for an hour.
