• If the greengage is not sour, add some lemon juice.
• To add more flavor to the food, add a piece of cinnamon stick to it when the chicken is boiling.
• If you want, add some tomato paste to the food. This amount should not be more than one tablespoon.
• Fried onion also makes the stew tastier. You can remove some of the onions while frying and add them to the food in the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Greengage fruit are identified by their round-oval shape and smooth-textured, pale green flesh; they are on average smaller than round plums but larger than mirabelle plums (usually between 2 and 4 cm diameter).

The skin ranges in colour from green to yellowish, with a pale blue “blush” in some cultivars; a few Reine Claudes, such as ‘Graf Althanns’, are reddish-purple due to crossbreeding with other plums.
