Fruit

Fruit recipes have been around since ancient times. The first recorded fruit recipe is from the Roman cookbook Apicius, which includes a recipe for a dish called “placenta” made with honey and figs.

Fruit recipes were also popular in medieval Europe. In the 14th century, a cookbook called Forme of Cury included recipes for dishes like quince pudding and cherry soup.

During the Renaissance, fruit recipes became even more popular. Italian cookbooks from this era include recipes for dishes like candied oranges and baked pears.
