Ingredients

  • 6 ozs. flour
  • 6 ozs. stale bread crumbs
  • ¾ lb. raisins, seeded and cut in pieces
  • ¾ lb. currants
  • ¾ lb. suet, finely chopped
  • 10 ozs. sugar
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3 ozs. candied orange peel, finely cut
  • 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon mace
  • 6 eggs, well beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

1

Mix ingredients in order given, turn into a thickly floured square of unbleached cotton cloth. Tie securely, leaving some space to allow the pudding to swell, and plunge into a kettle of boiling water. Cook five hours, allowing pudding to be immersed in water during the entire cooking. Serve with Hard and Liquid Sauce.

2

Hard Sauce.= Cream one-third cup butter; add gradually one cup brown sugar and two tablespoons brandy, drop by drop. Force through a pastry bag with rose tube, and garnish with green leaves and candied cherries.

3

Liquid Sauce.= Mix one-half cup sugar, one-half tablespoon corn-starch, and a few grains salt. Add gradually, while stirring constantly, one cup boiling water, and boil five minutes. Remove from fire, add one tablespoon lemon juice and two tablespoons brandy; then color with fruit red.
