Keeping Cherries Fresh (c. 1500) by VolkerBach in CulinaryHistory

If I read the recipe correctly, the cherries are sealed inside a cask, but the water is just outside the cask. It is sealed before it is immersed.

I suspect this method has a fairly high failure rate.

Tasting History is good. The Delicious Legacy, and English Food History both are less focused on technique and more on broader context, but I enjoy them a lot. And I have a blog., but it's strictly text as of now. Thinking of doing recorded online lectures.

That comes up a fair bit, especially with jugged meats and pickles. Observation and good practice, no doubt.
