Thank you! I have saved this for the Florilegium peaches-msg file, and
also to Regalo-de-la-Vida-msg with the hope that you will be posting
more recipes and/or redaction or that others will post redactions to
the recipes.
Thanks for the comparison as well. I'd forgotten about that other
recipe. It sounds like this one, using dried peaches, could even make
a rather fancy dish for an event such as Gulf Wars or Pennsic. When
fresh peaches might not be available.

Dried Peaches for the Beginning of the Meal
Put them the night before to soak in good white wine and at the time
that they are to be served at the table, take them out and cast ground
sugar on top of them.

Translation by Robin Carroll-Mann
Some may remember that a little over a year ago, we were discussing
peach recipes. The 1423 carving manual "Art de Cortar" has
instructions for carving fresh peaches and dipping the slices in white
wine. This recipe is not as elegant as table-side carving, but would
work well when peaches are out of season.
