SC - 1430-1450 recipe for Strawberye...

[Alex Wollangk]

Hello all,

Just came across the following recipe:

Strawberye

Take Strawberys, & Waysshe hem in tyme of yere in gode red wyne; þan strayne
þorwe a cloþe, & do hem in a potte with gode Almaunde mylke, a-lay it with
Amyndoun oþer with þe flowre of Rys, & make it chargeaunt and lat it boyle,
and do þer-in Roysonys of coraunce, Safroun, Pepir, Sugre grete plente,
pouder Gyngere, Canel, Galyngale; poynte it with Vynegre, & a lytil whyte
grece put þer-to; coloure it with Alkenade, & droppe it a-bowte, plante it
with þe graynys of Pome-garnad, & þan serue it forth.

And I thought strawberries were new-world and post period...

(this recipe is dated 1430-1450)
