Recipe by Daniel Myers

Need a dessert, but only have a few basic ingredients? Here's a simple, but unusual dish. It's somewhat like hot jelly on toast, and the flavor is wonderful.

• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/8 tsp. ground ginger
• pinch salt
• pinch pepper
• 2 slices toast
• fresh ginger

Peel fresh ginger and chop very finely. Set aside.

Put wine, honey, ground ginger, salt, and pepper into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and simmer until bubbles start to stack - or until syrup is thick when cool. Spoon over toast and sprinkle with a little fresh ginger. Serve hot.

My name is Krys.

I love kitchen witchery. Whether it is cooking up a meal or spells.

My style of cooking is mainly simple, homey, and vegan. Of course I will put the recipes out as non-vegan because I have this perverse need to take old favorites and veganise them so regular recipe is no problem. I am well known for not being able to leave recipes alone. I am a classic medler and it is very rare when I do leave one alone:>

I love cooking as naturally as possible using fresh ingredients, in season produce, buying locally and organic.

I love historic recipes, especially medieval and ren ones. So in honor of that here is a medieval favorite that I left alone:>

 

Green Blessings,
