Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. This is a good dish, and the fruit may be unripe ;
  2. but ripe are the better.
  3. Take moderate-sized pears as even as convenient, put them in a jar with water to cover, and about four to six ounces of sugar to the pint of water.
  4. To every pound of pears add an inch of stick vanilla and a little cinnamon, or omit any flavouring, and add vanilla essence when cold.
  5. Cook in a slow oven or a pan of water until done (from an hour to two or more, according to ripeness).
  6. Take the pears up and remove the cores when cold, using a long cutter, and reduce the syrup well.
  7. The interior of the pears is to be filled with whipped cream flavoured with vanilla (page 954).
  8. The syrup should be poured round, and more cream sent to table ;
  9. some may be coloured with pink, or the pears may be coloured and the cream all white.
  10. Apples are nice thus treated.
