[Sca-cooks] Caraway

[johnna holloway]

If it were caraway seeds, I'd suggest making comfits.

Ground caraway might be used in making "carraway cakes"
which is a version of the seed cakes made in England.
There's an original recipe in A Booke of Sweetmeates
which is included in Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery.
I suspect that there are a number of others in the Elizabethan
literature. I'll do a search later and let you know.
