"Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery-Books",  HARLEIAN MS. 279 (ab. 1430), & 
HARL. MS. 4016 (ab. 1450)

Vyaunde de cyprys in lente. Take gode thikke Mylke of Almaundys, & do 
it on a potte; & nyme the Fleysshe of gode Crabbys, & gode Samoun, & 
bray it smal, & tempere yt vppe with the forsayd mylke; boyle it, an 
lye it with floure of Rys or Amyndoun, an make it chargeaunt; when it 
ys y-boylid, do ther-to whyte Sugre, a gode quantyte of whyte Vernage 
Pime with the wyne, Pome-garnade. Whan it is y-dressyd, straw a-boue 
the grayne of Pome-garnade.
