  3. a pound of it

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. meat from the shell, pare off the black rind and grate it on a coarse grater, or chip it fine, have half a pound of it ;
  2. to half a pound of loaf sugar, put two tablespoonfuls of water ;
  3. when it is dissolved put it over the fire, let it become boiling hot, then stir in the cocoanut, continue to stir it until it is thick, take care not to burn it ;
  4. pour it on a well buttered* pan or marble slab, cut it in whatever forms you think proper when nearly cold.
