Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. three tablespoonfuls of butter

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.

Method

  1. Put into a bowl three tablespoonfuls of butter, six of sugar, and three of wine.
  2. Set the bowl in hot water to melt the butter.
  3. Peel the fruit and lay it in a baking pan.
  4. Pour over it the mixture in the bowl, and bake half an hour, basting several times.
