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.

- Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a sterilized glass jar. Cover airtight and refrigerate when cold (mixture will thicken as it cools). Use within 4 weeks.
- Makes approximately 1 cup.
