Eyngemachten # 18 - Preserved Candied Peaches

Introduction

In Marx Rumpolt's 1581 cookbook called Ein New Kochbuch, there is a recipe for Eingemachten 18.  The word "eingemachten" is German and it refers to preserved fruits.  So, preserved fruit recipe Eyngemachten #18 is for preserving peach bites.

For my experiment today, I do not have fresh peaches. So, instead I will be using a store bought container of peaches. Also, I would recommend using a flat sieve for this recipe. I do not have a flat sieve. So I am using the sieve that I do have, to allow the juices to fall through.

 (Palmer)

"The first edition of this first great and famous German cookbook appeared in 1581 and is the first large-format and richly illustrated German cookbook. Rumpolt had been the head cook to Daniel Brendel of Homburg, Archbishop- Elector of Mainz and to Anne of Denmark, Electress of Saxony." ("Kochbuch")



Materials

peaches
sugar


Procedure

Peel and slice up fresh peaches. Sprinkle sugar on the sides of the peach slices. Lay slices in a sieve in the sun. If it's outside, cover the sieve with a thin fabric.

Do this recipe in the morning, as it will take most of the day for the peaches to dry out.

After the peach slices have dried, serve and enjoy!
