Making Fennel Comfits

In my last post, Dyshefull of Snowe, the presentation included two sweetmeat glasses with fennel comfits.  The hemispherical kettle full of sack posset is behind me in this picture as I am swinging my comfit pan (to save my hands from the brazier heat below) making fennel comfits.  Twelve charges of sugar syrup were added to the fennel seeds.
