Translation: Pumpes. Take and boil a good piece of pork, & not to lean, as tender as you can find; then take it up and chop it as small as you can; then take cloves and mace, and chop with the pork, & also chop with currants; then take it and roll it as small as you can, like small pellets, 2 inches in size, then lay them on a dish by themselves; then make a good almond milk, & thicken it with rice flour, & let it boil well, but make sure it's not too thick; & at the table, lay 5 pumpes in a dish, and pour the sauce on. And if you will, set on every pumpe a decorative flower, and strew on sugar, & mace: and serve. And some men make the pellets of beef veal, but pork is best & fairest. 
Modern RedactionIngredients:
675g roasting pork Method:Cut the pork into pieces and boil until tender; drain and allow to cool. Chop the cooked pork as small as possible, either by hand or with a food processor. Mix well with the currants and spices then mould the meat mixture into small 5cm pellets and place in a oven pre-heated to 190°C for 15–20 minutes or until reheated. While the pumpes are being warmed, heat the almond milk in a pan over medium heat. Add the flour and salt and stir together thoroughly. Allow to cook until the mixture thickens slightly then lay 5 pumpes on a dish, cover with almond milk and garnish each with a small red (edible) wildflower or with violets. Sprinkle on a little sugar and mace and serve. |
