[Sca-cooks] Roysonys of courance

[otsisto]

As I am a bit fog brained right now, so I can't remember the source. But you
can dry fruits if you have the warmth/heat,and air current. You don't need
the sun. So, if there is a hearth perhap there is a place to dry them when
harvested.

It is surely possible now, but that doesn't mean it was possible, let
alone practiced, anywhere in medieval Europe. Let's think about it this way:
where, in medieval Europe, would there have been a regular  supply of red or
black currants and the kind of warm, sunny, breezy climate commonly
associated with the drying of fruit? I'm trying to
picture the famous local red currant crops of Malaga, Provence, or Turkey,
or Lebanon, or Tunis, and all I'm getting on the Wayback
Machine's screen is snow and static... not much better luck when we look for
the booming raisin industry in Herjolfness. See what I mean?
