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. Select some fine cherries;
  2. cut off the ends of their stalks, and set them in a silver timbale.
  3. Pour sufficient sweetened Bordeaux wine (flavoured with a mite of cinnamon) over them, to just cover them.
  4. Close the timbale, and keep it on the side of the fire for ten minutes, that the cherries may poach.
  5. Let them cool in the syrup;
  6. drain the latter away;
  7. reduce it by a third, and add, in order to thicken it slightly, one tablespoonful of red-currant jelly per six tablespoonfuls of reduced syrup.
  8. Serve the cherries quite cold, and some lady’s-finger biscuits separately.
  9. Strawberries (Fraises).
