A dessert of bread for Christmas and New Year, with honey, dried fruits and Port.
Fatima Magalhães collected this version in 2011 from Maria da Conceição Gonçalves Mouta, born in Cavez and residing in Pedraça. The Museum published it in 2016.
The preparation sequence gives the bread a leading role: it enters small pieces, after the dried fruit, and thickens the prepared as it moves. The lemon peel and cinnamon stick join the water and honey at the beginning; the cinnamon powder finishes the sweet in the dish.
This version keeps measurements of different natures: liters, a cup and quantities left to the taste of the cooker. The record keeps that difference. The collection does not provide portions or weights for all ingredients, so the recipe was not converted into an invented precision formula.
