The Baked Coffin-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

 

When the coffin with the receipt (recipe) To make a Potato Pye was removed from the bake oven, a wonderful aroma filled the air.  The ingredients were Spanish Potatoes (sweet potatos), nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, sugar, marrow, raisins, dates, Oranado (candied orange peel), and Cittern (candied American citron melon).  The baking case (coffin) is made using coarse whole grain flour made with a hot water paste and coffin former.  The lid is made of fine cold water paste.
