Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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. Make a syrup by boiling one cup of sugar and two cups of water fifteen minutes;
  2. add one quart of sweet cider and one-half a cup of lemon juice;
  3. when cool freeze--using equal parts of ice and salt.
  4. Serve with roast turkey or roast pork.
