  • Preserving. Old preserving methods may not make food safe to keep. Use current tested guidance.

  1. a teacupful of water
  2. Apples
  3. Currant
Contains Sulphites Read from the ingredients, not verified. Check labels.

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. The apples should be juicy and ripe.
  2. The fruit is then quartered, the black spots in the cores removed, afterward put into a preserving kettle over the fire, with a teacupful of water in the bottom to prevent burning;
  3. more water is added as it evaporates while cooking.
  4. When boiled to a pulp, strain the apples through a coarse flannel, then proceed as for currant jelly.
