Aronia Greengage Plum Jam
Somehow the Aronia berry helped create the most plummy plum jam—lots of body, warmth, textural heft and a kiss of tartness.
Greengages are still relatively unusual to find in Vermont. If you know, you know that they are one of the sweetest plums, defying their green color, which might have you thinking of “sour” or “tough”, but in fact Greengages are ambrosial. The Aronia berry plays a supporting role of color and pectin and a counterbalance of acidity to the Greengage’s sweetness.
This flavor is very limited. Plum harvests differ year to year with varieties variably flagging and/or succeeding season to season depending on summer storms and spring rains. The yellow jackets in particular love Greengages so we feel really lucky to have gotten a harvest.
Ingredients: honey, aronia berry, greengage plum, lemon juice
