[Bonne]

>The stew and scones sound lovely, but here in Central Caid (where it plans to
>be 107 degrees today) we need something *cold*!

And to finish things up, how about some rose pudding?

Rose Pudding
Curye on Inglysch

Take thyke milke; sethe it. Cast therto sugur, a gode porcioun; pynes,
dates ymynced, canel, and powdour gynger; and seeth it, and alye it with
flours of white rosis, and flour of rys, Cole it; salt it and messe it
forth. If thou wilt in stede of almounde mylke, take swete crem of kyne.

Petals of on full-blown but unshrivelled white rose
4 Lvl Tbs rice flour (or cornflour)
11/4 cups almond milk
50g sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground ginger
21/2 cups single cream
Pinch salt
10 dessert dates, stoned and finely chopped
1 Tbs chopped pine nut kernels

(I thought at first that the 'Thyke Mylke' mentioned might have meant sour
milk or curd cheese, however I discovered it was rich almond milk.)

Take the petals off the rose one by one, and snip off the end which was
attached to the seed case.  Blach the petals in boiling water for 2
minutes, then press between several sheets of soft kitchen paper and put a
heavy flat weight on top to squeeze them dry. (They may look depressingly
greyish, but blending will cure the dish's complexion) Put the rice flour
or cornflour in a saucepan, and blend it into enough of the milk to make a
smooth cream.  Stir in the reamining milk. Place the pan over a low heat,
and stir until the mixture starts to thicken.
Put in in an electric blender and add the sugar, spices and rose petals,
process until fully blended, then add and blend in the cream and salt.
Put the mix into a heavy saucepan, and stir over a very low heat, below the
boil, until it is the consistancy of softly whipped cream.  Stir in most of
the chopped dates and pine nuts and stir for 2 minute mare.  Turn into a
glass or decoratice bowl and cool.  Stir occasionally while cooling to
prevent a skin forming.  Chills.  Just before serving decorate with the
reamining dates and nuts.
