Long ago - well, long is relative: about 5 years ago - i was consulting with the list, collecting SCA-period spice powder recipes.

I recently transferred those files from an older computer to the one i currently use. In one folder i found a file titled:
> Fine Spice Powder for Tarts

In the file it said:
> sugar - 3 oz - 2 Tb
> ginger - 3 oz - 2 TB
> cinnamon - 1 oz plus - 2 tsp
> cloves - 1/8 oz - 1/4 tsp
> grains of paradise - 1/8 oz - 1/4 tsp
> (Total 14-1/2 tsp)
>
> someone else's version
> 2 Tbsp. sugar
> 3 Tbsp. ginger
> 1 1⁄2 Tbsp. cinnamon (canelle)
> 1 tsp. cloves
> 1 tsp. grains of paradise

This doesn't seem to match any of the other recipes i collected and i'd like to know the source. Do these quantities or proportions look familiar to anyone?

Thanks.
