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. Put a tablespoonful and a half of tapioca, a quarter of a cupful of sugar two cupfuls of water and a quarter of a pound of the best prunes, soft and plump from soaking, in the top part of a double boiler, bteam three hours, adding more water if necessary, but do not stir, as the prunes should not be broken.
  2. Cool and serve with cream.
