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. Grate off a little of the outside rind of four Seville oranges, and cut a round hole at the blunt end opposite the stalk, large enough to take out the pulp and seeds and juice.
  2. Then pick the seeds and skin from the pulp, rub the oranges with a little salt, and lay them in water for a short time.
  3. The bits cut out are to be saved.
  4. Boil the fruit in fresh water till they are tender, shifting the water to take out the bitterness.
  5. In the meantime make a thin syrup with fine sugar, put the oranges into it, and boil them up.
  6. As the quantity of syrup need not be enough to cover them, turn them round, that each part may partake of the syrup, and let them remain in it hot till they are wanted.
  7. About half an hour before serving, put some sugar to the pulp, and set it over the fire;
  8. mix it well, and let it boil.
  9. Then add a spoonful of white wine for every orange, give it a boil, put in a bit of fresh butter, and stir it over the fire to thicken.
  10. Fill the oranges with it, and serve them with some of the syrup in the dish, with the bits on the top.
