Welcome to day 2 of the #EarlyModernPeriod🩸 cooking challenge. Today's recipe is Hannahg Glasse's Short Gingerbread (1747). After yesterday's Pork-Pye success, I have high hopes for this one. .@solveig_hanson and I were unsure if the ginger in this recipe would be powdered or fresh. Thankfully @rare_cooking had the answer: around the time this recipe was written, most ginger in England came from Jamaica, either fresh or pickled. 2/ rarecooking.com/2015/12/09/to-…

Hey everybody and welcome to my first #EarlyModernPeriod cooking thread. As @solveig_hanson tweeted, we will be making Cheshire Pork-Pye from Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery (1747)! 1/ For this recipe you will need:
- a pie crust
- pork loin
- apples
- sugar
- white wine
- butter
I'll get started on the cooking process a little later (I'm making this for dinner), but feel free to cook along and share pictures of what comes out. 2/
