Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. a quart of fruit
  2. a cup of sugar
  3. Cut

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.
  • 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. Have a very deep plate, and either no under crust save a rim, or a very thin one.
  2. Allow a cup of sugar to a quart of fruit, but no spices.
  3. Stone cherries.
  4. Prick the upper crust half a dozen times with a fork to let out the steam.
  5. For rhubarb or pie-plant pies, peel the stalks;
  6. cut them in little bits, and fill the pie.
  7. Bake with an upper crust.
