Greengage jam

[semperfiona]

Greengage jam was one of our favorites when we lived in England. I've been looking for it here ever since we came back, but have never found it. So I finally decided to try making it myself. I just did it while Rosa has been asleep. I now have three jars of green plum jam cooling on the kitchen counter. I don't know whether the green plums I found were really greengages or not, but they were certainly sour enough, and the drips of jam-in-process taste pretty good. I'm even thinking of giving one of the jars to Ray, since it was something he really liked.

Is that anything like green eggs and ham?

Sorry, had to do that. ;)

I would not like them in a house.
I would not like them with a mouse.

I would not like greengage jam.
I would not like it Sam I am.

Wait a minute.....I'm not Sam, I'm Freddy. Well crap, that just wouldn't fit at all, "Freddy I am". Oh well.

Sam is the one trying to *sell* the green eggs and ham. We never find out the other guy's name. (And if you haven't bought the book for the ferretlings yet...Go buy it right now! Rosa loves it.)

Yeah, I know the book all too well. I knew it before the ferretlings even came along, not sure if that's a good thing or not. ;)

Just thought I'd put my own surreal twist on it. If at any given time I don't make sense, just ignore me like most everyone else does.

Is that something Mr. Greenjeans eats?
