Add 1¼ lbs. of beef suet free from skin and chopped very fine, 1 lb. of currants, ¾ lb. of raisins, 1 lb. of brown sugar, ¼ lb. of almonds, blanched and chopped very fine, ½ lb. of citron cut in thin pieces, 1 large tumbler of brandy, 1 lb. of chopped apples, cloves, mace, nutmeg, ginger each 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 wineglasses of sherry and nearly 1 qt. of cider. This is a very old recipe and in an old book, loaned by a distinguished Virginia family.
