A few quick notes
1. Plan the chilling step
Read the chilling step before deciding when to start. Make room in the fridge and use the time and sequence in the recipe, so that part does not catch you by surprise.
2. Do the draining step before mixing
Check the draining or squeezing instruction before combining everything. Finish that little preparation step first, so you are working with the ingredient in the form this recipe expects.
3. Remember the turn or stir
Set a reminder for the turn or stir mentioned in the method. It is an easy small step to miss while you are getting the table ready.

The last little job
Keep the last little job in mind
The recipe finishes with this step: Label and date the jars and store them in a cool, dark place for a year. Set out what you need for that finish before the cooking gets busy.
A little more help as you go
Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
Leave room for the cooling step
The cooling step comes before another part of the finish. Set the food aside as the method directs and keep that pause in mind before cutting, coating or putting the final parts together.
Get the blending equipment ready
There is a blending step in this method. Set up the appliance called for and follow its instructions along with the recipe, including any cooling or handling directions before blending.
