What are are these?
« on: August 26, 2009, 19:35 »
Ive inherited a tree full of this fruit, so i picked a load today with the  intention of making some jam/chutney and something alcoholic.The only problem is, i dont know what they are, &neither does anyone else ive asked.
  So far they are definately Greengages,not Greengages,Damsons,Wild plums(?)&definately not Damsons.
  Any suggestions?

 Cheers

The apple comment was a joke, not a criticism of the photo, as I don't know what they are! The photo's fine.

That's simple.

Add sugar & either ferment or boil.

Any other help I can give?
