[Sca-cooks] Marzipan sauce anyone? (was Re: An Evil Thought- Excercise in Intelligence)

[Generys ferch Ednuyed]

Well, not necessarily - there's a recipe in A Medieval Kitchen, that I can't
remember the original attribution of, but it's chicken sautéed with onions,
and then sauced with almond milk made with pomegranate juice.  *If* you use
the bottled pomegranate juice, as opposed to trying to get our own out of a
fruit, you get a sauce that's a nice lavender color.  (otherwise, yes, it's
a nasty color.) This sounds somewhat similar... and yummy. So I might
consider bringing a rotisserie chicken or something as well as the fruit.
