[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
I use the recipe from Duke Sir Cariadoc of the Bow’s Miscellany found online at www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/recipes_introduction.html
“Powder fort is a spice mixture mentioned in various period recipes; we have not yet been able to find a description of what spices it contains. What we use is a mixture containing, by weight: 1 part cloves, 1 part mace, 1 part cubebs, 7 parts cinnamon, 7 parts ginger, and 7 parts pepper, all ground. This is a guess, based on very limited evidence; it works well for the dishes in which we have tried it.”
