INGREDIENTS:
340 gr (12 oz) raisins
230 gr (8 oz) currants
230 gr (8 oz) mixed peel
170 gr (6 oz) bread crumbs
170 gr (6 oz) suet
4 eggs
½ wineglassful of brandy
WHAT TO DO:
Stone and cut the raisins in halves, but do not chop them
Wash, pick, and dry the currants, and mince the suet finely
Cut the candied peel into thin slices, and grate down the bread into fine crumbs
When all these dry ingredients are prepared, mix them well together
Moisten the mixture with the eggs, which should be well beaten, and the brandy
Stir well, that everything may be very thoroughly blended, and press the pudding into a buttered mould
Tie it down tightly with a floured cloth
Boil for 5 or 6 hours. It may be boiled in a cloth without a mould, and will require the same time allowed for cooking.
When the pudding is taken out of the pot, hang it up immediately by a hook, and put a plate or saucer underneath to catch the water that will drain from it. Leave it to dry out until Christmas Day.
