  • 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. To every pound and a quarter of picked currants take a pound of sugar, and put it into a pan, with enough of the juice of currants to dissolve it.
  2. When it boils, skim it, put in the currants, and boil them till clear ;
  3. put them into a jar, and tie them down close for use.
