Bottled Greengages

Select greengages that are not too ripe. make small holes all over them, put them in wide-mouthed bottles, fill the bottles with thin syrup, cork and tie down; place them in a saucepan of water, bring it gently to the boil, and simmer until the fruit turns brown. Remove from the fire, leave the bottles in the water for a day, boil again for ten minutes, and the fruit is ready for use.
