Le Menagier makes mention of candied spices numerous times. These treats are discussed as “chamber spices” including candied orange peel, candied citron, red anise, rose sugar and white sugared almonds (red sugared almonds are also mentioned frequently). Le Menagier describes menus that include spices served along with “Tartlets and other things, hippocras and wafers, wine and spices” (more).
