Funny, but I just stumbled across the recipe below earlier this evening.

[111.]  Sapore de marzapane.  Piglia quatro dita de marzapane he
pistalo cum uno poco de zenzaro bono, poi distempara cum suco de limoni
he de granate dolce he forte; he sera bono sapore.

(Marzipan Sauce.  Get four fingers of marzipan, grind it up with a
little good ginger and distemper it with lemon juice and strong, sweet
pomegranate juice.  This is a good sauce.)
