Cook safely

  • 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.

Method

  1. Allow half a pound of brown sugar to every pound of fruit, and to every seven pounds of fruit a pint of strong vinegar.
  2. Put all in together, and let them cook slowly until they are done.
  3. Then take the fruit from the syrup and put on dishes.
  4. Let the syrup boil longer until it is rich, adding cloves and four sticks of cinnamon.
  5. Pour over the fruit in jars, whilst hot.
