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.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • 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. lemon peel, thinly sliced (yellow part only) fresh lemon balm or mint sprigs
  2. SAUCE: Combine 4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen), water, lemon juice and cornstarch in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils and thickens. Cool slightly. Puree mixture in processor or blender until smooth. Mix in sugar. Refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
  3. Scoop sorbet into goblets. Spoon sauce over. Top with fresh berries. Garnish with lemon peel and lemon balm.
