Saracen broth. Take roasted capons, and their livers with spices, and toasted bread; grind it in a mortar; and dilute it in the mortar with white wine and verjuice, and then cut said capons into pieces, and boil them in a pot with the aforementioned things, and put in dates, currants, prunes, whole peeled almonds, and enough lard; and serve. Likewise this can be done with saltwater fish; then put apples and pears in said broth.
