greengages
Sweet green plums
Greengages are a variety of plum with green or yellowish-green skin and sweet, honey-flavored flesh.
They're prized for eating fresh and for making jam, though they bruise easily and don't travel well, making them less common in supermarkets than other plums: The greengage jam was almost too sweet.
