Shakespearean Barley Fruit Soup

In high school, we had a Shakespearean feast as a final project. We had to make a meal from Shakespeare's time and dress in costume. There was no Internet in 1979 and it wasn't that easy to find the recipes. This was one of the recipes someone made. I have had this recipe for all these years!
