<<< They are there for flavor and color. If you can't find
pomegranates
(yeah, it's a little ahead of the season), i'd skip them.
If you like, you could sprinkle some
(1.) sumac
OR

Sumac is used in 'Abbasid recipes. I have not seen barberries used in
them, however. I have found barberries in at least one late 15th c.
Ottoman recipe, and they are used in modern Persian recipes. >>>
I'm not quite sure which recipes these "'Abbasid recipes" are, but
can anyone point me to some other period recipes, preferably European
ones, which use sumac berries?
I have a jar of sumac berries which I bought from the Pepperer's
Guild at Pennsic in a previous year. I often buy unusual items such
as this when I see them without having a plan on where to use them,
and I'd like to use them in something.
Thanks,
Stefan
