I was more looking for something cooked. Something along the lines of
"I've made X from Y with plums and it was really good" or similar. There
is a scarcity of plum recipes in my period cookery library, and I don't
remember the family's traditional plum kuchen being made with greengages
(nor do I have the recipe, darn it all).
