Swithin Cream

Oeels of 2 large lemons, grated
10 dandelion flowers
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 c sugar

Beat the cream, add salt and sugar, fold in lemon peel and flower petals.

It's from Medieval Holidays & Festivals by Madeleine Pelner Cosman. Yes,
the same Madeleine Pelner Cosman who did Fabulous Feasts. No
documentation. I've never seen anything like it in a good reference. But
it tastes  very good. (Hey! I was given the book as a gift before I knew
any better and I made a lot of the recipes in it. Some of them aren't
bad. The peppermint rice is a little weird. So is the Pasta and Apricot
Butter. Need I say more?)
