This is an SCA replica of a popular 1500s recipe. It's a fluffy, sweet white mousse served with strawberries in spiced syrup.
Ingredients:
8 egg whites
1 pint whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 -2 tablespoon rose water
2 pints strawberries
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
Directions:
1. Whip cream and set aside.
2. Then beat egg whites until they form soft peaks.
3. Add egg whites to whipped cream and whisk together.
4. Add rose water and sugar - adding a little sugar at a time. This stuff will have a consistency something like Cool-Whip, but will taste lots better.
5. Clean strawberries and place into bowl.
6. Mix red wine, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Pour mixture over strawberries and allow to marinate for an hour or so.
7. Serve snow with strawberries on top and with a couple shortbread cookies on the side.
