Mix 2 soup plates of raisins, 2 of currants, 2 of citron and a little candied orange peel, 2 of beef suet, 2 of bread crumbs, 2 of sugar, 2 of flour. These must be heaping plates; 1 doz. eggs beaten separately and 1 pt. of milk. If you have only 8 or 9 eggs it will take 1 qt. of milk. Season with a ½ tumbler of brandy, 3 or 4 nutmegs grated, 2 pinches of allspice. After mixing up the ingredients, tie the pudding up in a strong cloth and boil 7 hours. This pudding will keep for months in the winter. Cut off a piece the size you wish to serve and put in a tin mould. Put mould into boiling water until the pudding is _hot through_. Turn into a dish and pour over a little alcohol and set on fire. Serve with a rich sauce seasoned with nutmeg and brandy. An old and tried recipe and most delicious one.
