SC - Fw: [TY] recipe question

[Stefan li Rous]

I would check this file in the Florilegium in the FOOD section:
fruits-msg       (185K) 10/21/99    Medieval fruits and fruit dishes. Recipes.

There is a Russian recipe in there that ferments the fruit.

In some ways Melandra's description sounds more like compost but that is
apparently pickled rather than fermented. But more fruit is gradually
added as some is used. Sometimes throughout the season, so that it gets to
be a mix of different fruits.

For more info on compost, check this file in the FOOD section:
pickled-food-msg  (67K)  9/28/99    Medieval pickled food. recipes.
