Recipe Introduction
This version of Sambocade is a combination of the recipes from Forme of Cury and The Closet of Sir Kenelm Digby, Opened, posthumously printed in 1699.
List of Ingredients
1 nine-inch pie shell
2 Tbs. heavy cream
2 Tbs. dried elderflowers
3/4 lb. cottage cheese
3/4 lb. ricotta cheese
3 eggs
¼ lb. butter
1/3 cup sugar
¼ tsp. cloves
¼ tsp. mace
1 Tbs. rosewater (optional) Recipe
Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly. (A food processor or blender will do the job nicely.) Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 350° F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until filling has set and the crust is a golden brown. Let cool and serve.
Elderflowers can be found at natural food stores, herb & spice specialty shops, stores that carry exotic teas, etc. I find them at my local food co-operative. Don't use a substitution - the flavor of elderflowers is unique and the taste of the final product depends on the real thing.
Rosewater is a remarkable liquid that can be found in Oriental, Indian, and other imported food stores. The rose aroma & flavor are strong and powerful - be sure to use the real thing and not a substitute.
