  1. Mace
  2. three pints of water
  3. Cut

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. Cut up an old hen toa stewpan with about three pints of water and a few blades of mace;
  2. put it on the fire when it begins to boil;
  3. skim it thoroughly, and add a little water to stop it boiling.
  4. When it begins to boil again skim it, and draw it to the corner of the stove to boil for half an hour, when strain it through a fine napkin;
  5. fill the stewpan up again, and let it boil two hours;
  6. then strain it off for use.
