Really inspiring thread, thanks guys.
My small effort with greenish Bullace I found growing in a fairly wild wood, but there was a farm not too far away so it might be a greengage.
A compote made for my Porridge this morning



I could do with a hand IDing it to be honest. I don't think its cherry plum as is so late in fruiting, and not red/yellow flushed. They are the ones in the Kuksa and are 2.5cm in dia on most of them, which is confusing as I was led to believe this is cherry plum size on average, with bullace/damson, slightly bigger on average. Damsons I know are normally purple, with bullace any one of four colours.

 
Greengage are a stunning fruit now lost to many - lovely as an eating fruit as well as cooking. We have planted a golden gage in our young orchard - gages should be more popular really - but they aren't a commercial fruit really - enjoy them!

The stew sounds great!
