Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. Water
  2. a pound of fruit
  3. a pound of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Use three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
  2. Skin and stem ripe greengages, and boil them quickly for three-quarters of an hour with the sugar, and only enough water to keep them from burning at first.
  3. Skim, and stir very frequently.
