Cook safely

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

Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
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.
Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
Flambéing. Pour the alcohol off the heat, never straight from the bottle, and light it with a long match, leaning back. Keep a lid close to put the flames out.
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

Cut a red bell pepper in half, remove seeds, and roast half of it (brush with olive oil and put under broiler very close to heat until blackened, about 5 minutes). Chop.
Saute onion in about a tablespoon of olive oil until translucent. Add tomato and jalapeno and saute about another 5 minutes, until tomato is cooked. Add cider to cover and apricots and boil down until cider is almost all boiled off. Chopped roasted bell pepper and stir. Add dark rum and flambe. (light and swirl until it goes out). Serve hot over grilled shark, swordfish, shrimp, or marlin.
