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. Scald the peaches;
  2. peel them, and cut them in two.
  3. Poach them in sufficient Château-Laffite wine to cover them, and sugar the wine to the extent of ten oz.
  4. of sugar per bottle.
  5. Leave them to cool in the syrup, and dish them in a silver timbale.
  6. Reduce the wine by three-quarters;
  7. thicken it with a little raspberry-flavoured, red-currant jelly.
  8. When this syrup is quite cold, sprinkle the peaches with it.
