GREENGAGE WITH MINT AND THYME SOUP
I think that this year, I have done the most of the greengages season as they were so yummy! I did this soup in France with my friends when the sun gently changed as we were ending the lovely month of August… Do not hesitate to change the fruits if you cannot find greengages. It works perfectly well with red or yellow plums actually!
GREENGAGE WITH MINT AND THYME SOUP
Serves 4
1 kg greengages cut in half
70 g brown caster sugar
30 cl water
5 thyme sprigs
1 generous handful of fresh mint leaves
In a pan, dissolve the sugar in the water.
Add the mint and leave it to simmer for 20 minutes.
Leave it to cool down and place the greengages and the thyme. Set aside.
Best serve cool.
