POTAJE LLAMADO PERSICATE
Pottage called Peach-Dish
You will take the peeled peaches, and cut them into slices, and cook them
in good fat broth; and when they are cooked, take a few blanched
almonds and grind them; and when they are well-ground, strain them
rather thick with that broth. And then cook this sauce with sugar and a
little ginger, and when it is cooked, cast in enough pot-broth or that
which falls from the roasting-spit. And let it stew well for a little; an=
d
then prepare dishes, and upon each one cast sugar; and in this same way
you can make the sauce of quinces in the same manner; but the quinces
need to be strained with [the] almonds, and they should not be sour, and
likewise the peaches.
footnote: <italic>Durazno</italic> is the Spanish for =93peach=94, but <it=
alic>Persico</italic> (=93Persian=94) is
the word for the peach tree. The Latin name, <italic>prunus persica</ital=
ic>, means
Persian plum, because the fruit was introduced to Europe from Persia.
