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.
- Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
- 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.

- Part 1:
- Combine sugar, cocoa, and water. Boil to soft ball stage (234 - 238 F). Pour slowly over stiffly beaten egg whites. Beat constantly. Add Part 1, and continue to beat until the mixture begins to stiffen. Add flavoring, nuts, candied cherries, and coconut. When mixture is firm but still hot, rinse your hands in cold water (do not wipe them). Form mixture into a loaf. Roll in yellow coconut. Place on well-buttered plate. Slice with sharp knife.
