Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 3 apples

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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.

Method

  1. 3 apples, Pint of water.
  2. Roast sour apples until tender, pour boiling water over them and let them stand until cold.
  3. Sweeten a little if the patient so desires.
