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.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.

Method

  1. Cook together 4 cups of cranberries with 4 cups of water until all the skins pop open.
  2. Strain through a cheese cloth.
  3. Bring the juice to boiling point, add two-thirds cup sugar and cook until it boils 2 minutes.
  4. Serve cold.
  5. May be blended with ginger ale or charged water when served, using equal amounts.
