Compote of Greengages Ingredients: 1.1 lt (2 pints) Greengages 600 ml (1 pint) Sugar Syrup Cooking Instructions: Make the syrup, skim it well and add the greengages when the syrup is boiling, having previously removed the stalks and stones from the fruit. Boil gently for 15 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Take care not to let it break, as the appearance of the dish would be spoiled were the fruit reduced to a pulp. Take the greengages carefully out. Place them on a glass dish. Boil the syrup for another 5 minutes. Let it cool a little, pour over the fruit and when cold, it will be ready for use. |
