[Sca-cooks] Re: period recipes for holiday gifts

[Sue Clemenger]

You betcha!
How about mustards or Elizabethan wash balls (okay, so those aren't 
edible, but it still takes a recipe!) I mostly "do" mustards for gifties 
for royalty to give out, but they're quite popular.  I put the stuff 
into little 4 oz. jelly jars and water bath 'em to seal them.
Or Cider Sauce (I'm actually making that one for local friends this 
year).  This might be a little more problematic to mail out.
Or spice blends! Hippocras powder, or Powder Forte, or Powder Douce.
Or maybe a basket with enough of the right kind of goodies in it to make 
a small "feast" for 2 or 4 (like those ethnic baskets one often sees 
this time of year).
