Cook safely

  • 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.

Method

  1. Stem the currants, wash, place in an agate vessel and let them slowly come to the boiling point, stir often until all are well heated, wring a strong piece of coarse cloth out of hot water, strain the currants through this pressing out all of the juice, allow 1 pound of sugar to 1 pint of juice, stir until sugar is dissolved, pour into glasses and set before a sunny window.
