Thank you. I was a bit more specific than I meant to be. I probably
should have said period. I wanted to put this comment in my files
and wanted to make sure it wasn't a modern recipe. At this time at
least, I am not differentiating between medieval and period in my
files.

I assume this was from some sort of poltice rather than a food item?
Medieval folks seem to have been quite resourceful in using everything
around them.

These shouldn't be that difficult to find. I've bought small jars in
my local grocery but they are not cheap. I think a four ounce jar was
around three dollars. I've seen them in some of the spice catalogs
mentioned here for better prices.
