Little Cakes-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

 

The little cakes, from the receipt (recipe) Marmelett of popling-pare prepared from Forelle pears, sugar and pieces of citron, would be kept in a box until the confection was needed to impress guests at table.  Gilded almond comfits are pictured served with the cakes.

      They are extremely sweet and shimmer in the candlelight when they would be presented on table to guests of high status.
