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.

- Boil three ounces of ginger, three pounds of sugar, a pint and a half of water, the juice of a lemon, and half the rind, to a syrup ;
- then take out the rind and put in the apples, prepared as above, and boil for fifty to sixty minutes.
- Three pounds, or rather more, of fruit will be wanted.
- This is a simple recipe.
- Another way is to add as much essence of ginger as may be liked to the syrup instead of the spice itself.
- Some add a tablespoonful of brandy a short time before it is done.
- Apple Jam.
- — Required: three pounds of good cooking apples (weighed after peeling and coring), two pounds and a quarter of sugar, a saltspoonful of ground cinnamon, and as much ground cloves, the juice of two lemons, and some water.
- Cost, about Is.
- 8d.
- Quarter and sub-divide the fruit if large, and put it with all the rest of the materials in a jam kettle ;
- the water should barely cover the apple™ Boil and stir often until reduced to pulp, about three-quarters of an hour, then pot and tie down when cold,.' This is not for long keeping.
