Stone and split the fruit without taking off the skin. Weigh an equal

quantity of sugar and fruit, and strew part of the sugar over the

greengages, having first laid them on dishes, with the hollow part

uppermost. Take the kernels from the stones, peel and blanch them. The

next day, pour off the syrup from the fruit, and boil it very gently

with the other sugar eight minutes. Skim it, and add the fruit and

kernels. Simmer the whole till quite clear, taking off any scum that

rises. Put the fruit, one by one, into small pots, and pour the syrup

and kernels to it.
