Cameline Sauce image

This is a medieval recipe that dates back to 14th century France. The original recipe directions (translated from French) read as follows: "To make cameline, bray ginger, cinnamon and saffron and half a nutmeg moistened with wine, then take it out of the mortar; then have white bread crumbs, not toasted but moistened in cold water and brayed in the mortar, moisten them with wine and strain them, then boil all together and put in brown sugar last of all; and that is winter cameline. And in summer, do the same but it is not boiled."
