Take baked simmel and gingerbread in a pot, pour a good wine over it or sweet [kavente]. Put it at the fire and let boil well. Add sugar or honey therein and make it taste lively. Add thereto peper, ginger, cloves and a little saffron that it's nicely brown. Salt it to taste. Peel ripe apples, cut each in four parts. Put them in a pot. Add thereto big raisins and pour over pork fat and a little wine. Add a little saffron thereto so it's yellow. Put it to the fire to seethe softly.
