Though Caesar %26amp; Elizabeth are centuries apart People ask for Elizabethan recipes for school projects all the time The easiest recipe is Wassail





INGREDIENTS


2 quarts apple cider


2 cups orange juice


1/2 cup lemon juice


12 whole cloves


4 cinnamon sticks


1 pinch ground ginger


1 pinch ground nutmeg








DIRECTIONS


In a slow-cooker or a large pot over low heat, combine apple cider, orange juice and lemon juice. Season with cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. If using a slow cooker, allow to simmer all day. Serve hot.





Burrebrede


This is a medieval Scottish shortbread recipe. Queen Elizabeth the 1st loved these cookies





INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup superfine sugar


2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom


1/2 teaspoon ground ginger


3/4 teaspoon ground allspice


1/2 teaspoon salt


3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


1 cup butter, softened





DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice and salt. Divide into two equal parts, and set one aside. Add the flour and butter to the other half, and stir until blended. It should be slightly grainy.


Press the dough evenly into an 8 inch square pan. Cut into 1x2 inch pieces using a knife, and prick with the tines of a fork. This will keep the shortbread from warping while baking. Sprinkle the reserved sugar and spice liberally over the top, brushing into all of the cuts and holes.


Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden at the edges. Do not brown. Cool completely in the pan, and break into pieces along the lines to serve.


Tip
whenwil, the Elizabethan period in history was over fifteen hundred years away from Julius Caesar.





However, the Elizabethans did eat things like puddings and cobblers. Just use a cobbler recipe.
