Regency Christmas Traditions: Black Butter — 6 Comments

  1. In modern Britain, cider is an alcoholic drink, unlike North American non-alcoholic cider. So do we know whether the cider mentioned in Jane Austen’s recipe was alcoholic or not?

  2. This recipe sounds delicious; thanks for sharing. As to the previous comment. Fruit will ferment over time. My relative used to make an ambrosia with various fruits and fruit juices and just kept adding more fruit to it and over time it got stronger and stronger. Pretty soon it took on that distinctive bite of alcohol. I’d say the British version carried a punch [no pun intended].

  3. Thank you for the recipes! Your modern version sounds yummy. I don’t think I could wait three months to eat it – I think I could wait only until it cooled!

    • Me too! I really need to try to do some of this. Sounds perfect to adapt to a crock pot recipe. I make an onion jam when the really sweet onions come out in the crock pot and it’s an awesome relish on meat and sandwiches.
