My Medieval Sauce Recipe.
I first introduced my Medieval sauce recipe in 1996 when I had opened a small cottage industry, at first producing sauces from original Roman recipes. I think you will enjoy the spicy flavours so popular during medieval times. Likewise my recipe was popular at most of the Museums and Historical houses in England and Wales that I was making batches of 200 jars per day to keep up with sales,as well as selling more at the Re enactment markets John and I attended.

Thanks Rita! I’ll try this. Should the raisons and sultanas be whole, or should they be pounded down with the herbs? Thanks
