Old English Spiced and Fruited Sugar for Apple Pies Etc!
By: French Tart
Mar 28, 2007
An easy spiced and fruited sugar, which really adds a "zing" to your apple pies, apple crumbles, cake toppings, baked desserts etc. This spiced sugar mix is based on a 400-year-old English recipe. Spiced sugars were extremely popular in England many centuries ago, they disguised a multitude of sins; and, as spices & citrus fruits were still new & seen as extremely exotic, they were held in high regard and enjoyed especially by Royalty and the Gentry!
1 225 g Jar
Ingredients
- 200 g fine light brown sugar or white caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 orange, zest of, dried
- 1 lemon, zest of, dried
Directions
1
If you have no dried citrus zest, first make your dried orange & lemon zest by placing into a warm oven (just after it has been turned off) and leaving it to dry over night; or, if it is summer, cover and leave outside. (Place zest on a tray lined with greaseproof paper.).2
When you are ready to make the spiced sugar, simply mix all the spices in with the sugar - mixing well.3
Add the dried citrus zest, pour into a clean jar or airtight container and keep in a dark, cool and dry place for up to 3-4 months.4
You can make this with fresh citrus zest if you do not intend to keep it for longer than a week or two.5
Use in: Apple and all types if Fruit Pies, Crumbles, Sprinkles for Cakes and Bakes, Baked Desserts, Mulled wine & hot Beverages, Fruit salads, Trifles, Compotes and Purees.

I discovered this fabulous recipe while making Ms Sally's Spiced Sugar Apple Pie Light. It was superb in that dish and I'm really looking forward to using it in other recipes. For me, one of those GREAT ZAAR FINDS! Thank you for sharing it, French Tart!

I made an apple pie and wanted to try this spice out. I am so glad I did because it was really delicious! I love trying old fashioned recipes. Most of the time they are the simplest and the best in my book!

This was awsome. I made this up and added about a TB to some apples and onions in the crock pot. And put some pork chops on top, low for 8 hours and WOW. The flavor it gave to the apples was great and the suttle sweetness along with the citrus added great flavor to the pork chops.
