Cook safely

  2. then soak them for an hour in a pan of cold water.
  3. On taking them from the water, put them in a stewpan and set on the fire.
  4. Add a gill of water, and, covering the stewpan, cook for fifteen minutes.
  5. Pour the liquor through a fine strainer.
  6. Taste to see if salt enough.
  7. It may be too salt;
  8. in which case add a little boiling water to the broth.
