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.

Method

  1. Soak two-thirds of a cupful of tapioca over night in three cupfuls of cold water.
  2. Add a cupful and a half of light brown sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of diced figs, and two-thirds of a cupful of chopped English walnut meats.
  3. Steam for one hour in a double boiler.
  4. Stir in a tablespoonful of vanilla extract and turn into the serving dish.
  5. Chill, and serve with plain or whipped cream.
