Greengage Jam (Yellow Plum)

                            Time : Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour    Temperature : Low to Moderate

                Method :    Wash the Greengages and cut in half to remove the stones. Split stones and remove the kernels. Put them with the fruit into a pan with the water. Bring to the boil, and simmer until the Greengages are tender. This should take about 40 minutes. Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved, and bring again to the boil. Boil rapidly for about 15 minutes, then test for setting. Pot and cover as usual.
