Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- In a medium saucepan combine water, prunes, and apricots. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 min. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Leave prunes and apricots on the side. In the 1/2 cup liquid, combine pears, Amaretto, sugar and lemon peel. Cover and simmer 10 minutes until the pears are crisp-tender. Stir in prunes and apricots and heat through. Serve warm over vanilla ice-cream or frozen yogurt. Also makes a wonderful topping for pound cake.
