Hi Elaine, and welcome to the forum. Great to have you on board! big_hug

You might think that greengage jam would be green, but no! surprised

Have a look here - it is a Waitrose recipe for greengage jam, and there is a picture, too - you can see it is a plummy light browny colour. Sorry, my colouring description is rubbish!!

No worries, Elaine - we had the same reaction to the colour when Fiona made it for the first time this year. I guess we were used to greengage jelly growing up, which set our expectations for all things greengage.

Thanks for joining in and ask any questions you want. ok

TA, it seems to happen also if you type a line of text with no spaces. I tried inserting spaces in Elaine's last post. Is that any better?
