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.

Method

  1. Pick one quart of young gooseberries and put them into a jar with very little water and plenty of sugar;
  2. put the jar into a sauce-pan of boiling water till the fruit becomes quite tender, then press it through a colander, and add one quart of cream or rich milk (be sure to stir in the cream or milk very gradually so that it will not curdle), pour into small glasses and set in a very cool place till wanted.
  3. The amount of sugar must be according to one’s liking.
  4. (This is good.)
