Author Topic: Pickles! Jeff Johnson Member Member # 22 posted 10-27-2004 09:35 PM                   I'm looking for period Pickling recipes. I know Gwen has a good one for eggs... -------------------- Geoffrey Bourrette Man At Arms Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged Mart Shearer Member Member # 364 posted 10-28-2004 07:30 PM                   I'm pretty certain R. Delort's text contains a recipe for "jugged veal". IIRC it's pretty close to saurbraten, but I'll have to look up a copy in the local library.

It doesn't give the actual pickling recipe, but does note the veal should not be washed or overly boiled, but should remain "sharp for vinegar, and mixed with spices." Whether these are spices in the pickle or the "ginger, cinnamon, clove, Guinea pepper, and saffron in quantity" used in the sauce is unclear. Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged
