A sort-of medieval recipe, I haven't found a good primary source, only other people saying that it is medieval. A small verse:

Next crowne the bowle full of With gentle lambs wooll, Adde sugar, nutmeg, and ginger, With a store of ale too, And thus ye must doe To make the Wassaile a swinger.

No reference was listed, and it sounds fake; but I haven't had time to investigate further. Anyway the recipe is unusual and delicous regardless of provenance.

3 liters of apple juice or cider (I did part unfiltered apple juice, part carbonated apple juice) 6 large apples 2 tsp ground nutmeg 1 tsp ground ginger 1 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 375° F. Cut the apples in half and cut out the cores. Place them in a cake pan and add about ½” of water. Roast the apples for 35-45 minutes, until they are mushy and the skin is peeling off.

Meanwhile, put the sugar in a pan and add enough juice to cover it. Heat over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the nutmeg and ginger. Keep it over low heat.

Remove and discard the skin from the roasted apples. I found that different varieties of apple peeled differently, and some apple flesh needed to be scraped off the back of the pulled-off skin, but it wasn't difficult.

Puree the apple flesh in a food processor or blender until it is totally smooth like thick apple sauce. If using a blender, add enough juice to get it to blend, but not enough to really liquefy it. It needs to be thick and drier than usual applesauce.

Set a crock pot on high heat. Pour in the apple juice/cider and the sugar mix. Stir together. Then pour in the pureed apple. It should float to the top and resemble a wool fleece soaking in cider. Let it heat up to desired temperature, then set the crock pot to low or warm to maintain temperature for the duration of your winter feast.

In a pot over medium heat, whisk together the cocoa powder and water until smooth. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until it heats to steaming. Do not let it boil. It can be served as is, or with toppings such as marshmallows, whipped cream, ice cream, etc.

Makes one large serving.

1 ½ cups oat milk or nut milk 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 2 Tbsp semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips 1 Tbsp sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk the mixture as it heats. Keep heating and stirring until it is smooth and the chocolate chips are completely melted. Don't let it get hot enough to boil. Add the vanilla extract at the very end.

2 cups of raw nuts and seeds 1 Tbsp oil optional: 1 tsp salt optional: 2 Tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 325° F. Spread nuts onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. The cooking makes them grind easier, but you can use raw nuts if you prefer.

Let cool enough to handle. Place in a food processor with the oil and optional salt and sugar. Grind until it becomes a thick paste.

You can use any combination of nuts that you like. For this batch I used peanuts, walnuts, almonds, candied almonds, chia seeds, and a pinch of fennel seeds.

¼ cup thinly sliced onion ¼ cup minced garlic, raw or roasted 1 tsp fennel seed 1 Tbsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 3 Tbsp olive oil + some for sauteing 3 Tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp salt 2 cups cannelini beans or other white beans, cooked & rinsed

Saute onion with a small amount of olive oil, in a covered skillet over medium heat. Assemble the other ingredients in a food processor. When the onion is limp and translucent, add it to the food processor. Puree everything until it is as smooth as possible. Add a bit more lemon juice if necessary to make it smooth.

¾ cup grated carrot 1 cup hot water 2 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tbsp olive oil ¾ tsp salt 2 tsp dry yeast or .6 oz fresh yeast 1 Tbsp dried dill weed 3-3 ½ cups flour

Stir together the carrot, water, brown sugar, olive oil, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. If the water gets cold (from using cold carrots), pour some water out and reheat it.

Stir in the yeast, dill, and one cup of flour. Stir completely before adding another cup of flour, then stir that in completely before adding the third. At this point you will have to knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary. Knead until the dough is smooth around the bits of carrot. Then coat the inside of a large bowl and the dough in a small amount of oil. Place dough in bowl, cover the top, and let rise until it is doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Knead the dough lightly, then divide it into 12 even balls. Place them on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Brush olive oil and sprinkle coarse salt onto the tops of each roll. Cover them and let them rise until doubled again, about 40 minutes.

Place the pan in the oven along with a small dish of water. Set the oven to 375° F and bake, including preheat time, for 25-30 minutes, until they are golden brown on top and bottom.
