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.

- Gather and pick the berries.
- To every quart of the berries add a quart of water;
- after they have been mashed in a clean tub, let them lie three days, stirring it very often.
- Then strain it;
- sweeten to your taste;
- put the juice in a kettle, and boil it an hour and twenty minutes, with a little ginger and cloves;
- then put it in a cask, and when cold, if you have four gallons, stir in a tea-cup full of yeast: after it has fermented, add a little brandy.
