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.

Method

  1. Four quarts of sweet or sterilized cider should be boiled down to 2 quarts.
  2. To this add 4 quarts of apples peeled and cut in small pieces.
  3. If the texture of the apples is coarse they should be boiled and put through a strainer before being added to the cider.
  4. Boil this mixture vmtll the cider does not separate from the pulp.
  5. When two-thirds done add one pomid of sugar.
  6. One-half teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice and cloves may be added.
  7. Pour into sterilized jars and sterilize 5 minutes in steam.
  8. Apple and pear butter may be made by following the directions for apple butter with cider but omitting the cider.
