In the Middle Ages, they didn't have candy like we do, they had sweetmeats. These were their sweets. I have created something I think the Medieval folk would have recognized and loved. A cake dense with sugar crystals which hold up a base of candied ginger slices, a liberal dose of liquor and laid along a vein of candied pink sweet flowers carefully gathered last summer and preserved in the valuable sugar crystals. You cannot resist sweetmeats.
