“Bring the honey to a boil in a pan with the saffron and pepper.
Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs so as to make a very
thick paste. Simmer on an asbestos mat over low heat for 15 to 20
minutes until the paste has dried out. Place in a 9-inch by 5-inch
loaf tin. Smooth over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Make 6

surface of the ginger bread. Chill for several days in the
refrigerator. Serve in small slices.”

lechyst hyt, and caste Box leves a-bouyn, y-stykyd ther-on, on
clowys. And if thou wolt have it Red, coloure it with Saunderys
y-now.”
