Take good apples and good spices and figs and raisins and pears, and 
when they are chopped small, color with saffron and put them in a 
pastry crust and do it forth to bake well.
This was served as apples and pears as a filling for a bread ring. 
The "Five gold rings" for a Twelve Days of Christmas theme.
