Meat (beef or tongue) 2 lbs., suet 1 lb., brown sugar 2 lbs., currants 2 lbs., raisins 2 lbs., citron ½ lb., apples chopped 1 lb., wine 1 pt., brandy 1 pt., cinnamon ½ oz., 1 nutmeg. I have changed the recipe somewhat. I use ¼ lb. of lemon peel and ¼ of orange peel, the grated rind of 3 or 4 lemons, also the juice, and I add the brandy (2 tablespoons) at the time of baking, and I use cider instead of wine, but either way it is very good.
