The full quote dealt with Appulmoy, a period dish. The recipe gives no
quantities, so it could be made with a little honey or a lot of honey.
Since honey can do something that looks a lot like carmelization, the recipe
might produce something similar to apple butter. I don't know, I haven't
tried it, and I am not as experienced with this particular aspect of cooking
as some of the other people on the list.
In case you wish to test the recipe:
Appulmoy. Take apples and seethe hem in water. Drawe hem thurgh a stynnor.
Take almande mylke and hony and floer of rys, safron, and powdor-fort, and
salt, and seeth it stondyng.
