  Wassail  ( / ˈ w ɒ s əl / ,  /- eɪ l /   WOSS-əl, -⁠ayl , likely from  Old Norse   "ves heill" ) [1]  is a beverage made from hot  mulled   cider  and spices, drunk traditionally as an integral part of  wassailing , an ancient English  Yuletide  drinking ritual and  salutation  either involved in door-to-door charity-giving or used to ensure a good cider  apple  harvest the following year.   [2]  The drink is now increasingly popular from the  Internet  as a historical Christmas-time beverage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassail I make Wassail as part of a fall tradition for a November event that my medieval reenactment (SCA-Barony of Shattered Crystal) group puts on called Crystal Ball.  This is my recipe. This has been constructed though practice and testing. It is what I like and the people who I make it for also like. It is inspired by period wassail but is not a redaction of any period  recipe. Oranges of the period were not like they are today. Todays oranges are a

 First here is my recipe... Why because I hate the sites that make you go though all there story to get to the recipe that is why and this is my blog so I will do as I please. There is not a ton of history here just the sources for the history oldest I am listing that I have a 13th century cook book.  Strawberry's Sekanjabin 1 cup white vinegar 2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup Mint leaves or as many mint leaves as your heart delights in. Put vinegar and mint in a pot over heat and cover boil for 5 to 10 min. Strain out mint leaves pressing liquid out of them. Return vinegar to pot add in the 2 cups of sugar and keep stirring till all the sugar dissolves and the liquid is no longer cloudy. Pour in to storage container, if glass and liquid is still hot put a metal spoon in the container to prevent the glass from breaking. Lid and store till use. I keep mine in the refrigerator  Mix syrup with as much water as you like and ice if you like,  or mix with hot water and have a hot beverage. I

 Wilton's icing calls for Crisco/hydrogenated oil. This recipe was created to first address that issue. Then it was expanded to make it smoother and be egg free. It is Vegan as a matter of course more then on purpose. Lets look at why this recipe is better then the original.  What is bakers sugar...  Regular table sugar is course ground it is rougher on the tongue it is made to be dissolved into coffee and tea or lemon aids. And for that it is fine. I also works just fine for baking because the heat melts it. But for a cold only recipe it stays course on the tongue.  Bakers sugar is ground to be finer in texture the pieces are smaller. This is smother on your tongue.  Substituting meringue powder..... I could mix up some food grade gum Arabic and some corn starch but why put myself though that extra work when i can buy this ready made and it is pre measured so that one pack is 1 TBS.  The original recipe made with table sugar and Crisco is greasy tasting and grainy. And the meringu

Roman Spring. Feast Floralia  celebrated the goddess Flora, and took place on 27 April during the Republican era, or April 28 on the Julian calendar. inspired by  Apicius: a Roman cookbook circa 400 AD, J. Vehling, (trans.)) Much to my dismay we lost Jonathan a dear friend who had a flair for the dramatic that included stories. It was captivating to hear the crazy shit that happened to him and how he dealt with it. We miss him This however meant we needed a feast steward. Fintan and I had promised that we would be Jonathan's hands for Crystal Chamfron's Feast., and should he not be able to full-fill his duties we would. In loosing Jonathan before he had recipes, and the fact that Fintan's job must come first this means I am head steward and he is my 1st officer. Despite being a persona of early Tudor time I love the ancient worlds and Bronze age as well. As such I have decided to go with a Spring Country Celebration Feast. My idea is that in a vineyard spring is a
