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.

Method

  1. Select ripe, firm peaches, nearly soft enough to eat, avoiding the clingstones.
  2. The Crawfords are perhaps the best.
  3. Pare, divide in halves, removing the stones, and drop into cold water to prevent discoloring.
  4. For each quart of fruit pour a cupful of water into a saucepan, add three or four tablespoonfuls of sugar, and let boil up;
  5. drain the peaches from the cold water, and put them into the hot sirup;
  6. cook slowly till tender, and can.
