After each slow addition of rose flower water  to the mixture of fine sugar and gum tragacanth for the receipt (recipe) To make Sugar plate paste, it is very nice to have an eager, young confectioner (my granddaughter) take a turn at stirring.

The Rose-water

IMG_1372-001

Since the gum tragacanth available is not a lumpe but powdered, after the powder is weighed it is mixed thoroughly with the finely prepared sugar for the receipt (recipe), To make Sugar plate paste.  The Rose-water is added as needed in the center until enough.

Gumme-Draggon

IMG_1370-001

My gum tragacanth on the scale does not look like the lumpe of gumme-dragon, about the bignesse of a walnut, first steeped in Rose-Water described in the receipt (recipe) To make Sugar plate paste. The receipt continues to state that a little porringer full of Rose-water is enough to dissolve an ounce of gumme.   Gum tragacanth is an exudate of the Astragalus genus of plants in the Leguinosae family.   Found in areas of Asia Minor, the gum is exuded through breaks or wounds in the bark of the shrub and today it is processed into powder.   Visit my website at: www.hearttohearthcookery.com

First the Sugar

IMG_1367-001

The first step in the making of receipts (recipes) for To make Sugar plate paste is to prepare the sugar.  Receipts describe the sugar utilized to be “double refined” yielding a whiter sugar then simply a single refinement.  The sugar from the loaf is prepared in a marble mortar and pestle so it is fine without shine.

The receipt for A Dyschefull of Snowe states to then cast your Snowe upon the Rosemarye, but my effect is quite the blizzard.  The snow is egg whites beaten stiff mixed with cream beaten stiff with rosewater and sugar added.
