What goes with Greengage?
Greengage is a green-skinned plum with sweet, juicy flesh and a stone that may resist clean removal when the fruit is firm. Skin colour alone is a poor guide to eating ripeness. Fruit for wedges must retain more resistance than fruit intended for a strained sorbet or compote.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Greengage?
Vanilla and cream support the ripe fruit's softer side; restrained acid or spice prevents a sweet preparation from becoming heavy. In savoury dishes, use firmer fruit or a sharply balanced condiment. A small amount of greengage can bring moisture and acidity to roasted meat without turning the plate into a fruit dessert.
