The jam and mustard company, Cornish Meadows Preserves, has been around since 1995.  Owners Sarah and Tony Marsland operate out of Coverack, on the far east side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall.  We picked up this jar during our trip to England this September.

Before this trip, I had never heard of the greengage plum.  A friend we met in London remarked on the greengage dessert offering.  Then I began noticing references to greengages everywhere.  Luckily I bought the second jar of greengage jam I saw.  Luckily because after that I did not see any more.

I am definitely sold on this jam.  Cornish Meadows only mails within the UK so I am savouring every bit of this until I can get back to Cornwall.
