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.

Method

  1. Peel and slice the fruit and pat it dry (between the folds of a towel.
  2. Boil together without stirring 1 pound of sugar and !/2 a cupful of water.
  3. When a little dropped into cold water is brittle, remove the saucepan from the range, stand it in an outer pan of boiling water and stir in 3 tablespoonf uls of lemon juice.
  4. Take each slice of pineapple up quickly with sugar tongs, dip it into the scalding syrup and lay on waxed or greased paper to dry.
  5. This drying process would be best done where the air is dry and warm.
