[Sca-cooks] Special diet friendly sweets

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

What about candied citrus peel made from Le Menagier's recipe (with honey
instead of sugar?)

There's a number of cooked pear and apple recipes in Rumpolt (see
Gwencat's translation http://clem.mscd.edu/~grasse/GK_veggie1.htm ) that
would work, I think, and he also has a number of 'cook dried fruit in
water' dishes. I copy some of them here for you... if you don't mind using
margarine instead of butter, he's got even more dishes you can do, that 
call for butter.


23. If the pears are hard and bitter/ so peel them with the stems/
put them in a tinned rabbit pot/ add acidulated water/ and let them
simmer/ till they turn a bit red put white sugar thereunder/ and
make them rather sweet/ let them thereafter simmer/ so the pears become
redder / and the broth thicker. When they are cooked/ so put them out
into a bowl/ pour the broth over/ so you may serve them warm or cold.
If you serve them cold/ so sprinkle them with [sugar] coated fennel/ so they
become pretty and dainty. And it may be said/ one has given them a special
color.

26. Baked pears. Peel and cut them into pieces/ lay them on a bowl/
and sprinkle them with [sugar] coated anise/ or with fennel/ sprinkle
crushed sugar
thereover/ so they are good and welltasting.

33. Take baked pears or hutzeln [dried pears]/ cook them in a water/ give
them
warm to the table/ and sugar them. Or when they are green/ soft and timely/
so press them through a fine sieve/ put them in a fishkettel/ set them with
butter on the coals/ and stir it/ till it simmers/ put it then in a
bowl/ sugar it/ and give it warm to the table.

44. Dried apples are cooked in clear water/ especially the common
man in villages/ because he does not have much stuff/ as a great gentleman
[lord]
One must stretch for the ceiling.

48. Hollow apples out/ put cinnamon and sugar together therein/
put them in a tart pan/ or push them in a hot oven/ and fry [bake]
it/ put therein fresh butter/ or sugar candy [?]/ give it warm to the table/
and sprinkle it with sugar.

120. Cherries/ that are dried/ set to (cook? Or soak) with half water and
half wine/ (you) may serve them cold or warm.
