Mix and beat these ingredients well together, tie them tightly in a thickly floured cloth, and boil them for three hours and a half. We can recommend this as a remarkably light small rich pudding: it may be served with German wine, or punch sauce. <\/p>\n<p>MODERN RECIPE<br \/>\nINGREDIENTS<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 oz (85g) Flour<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 oz (85g) Bread Crumbs<br \/>\n&#8211; 6 oz (170g) Beef Suet (Lard or Crisco will work as well)<br \/>\n&#8211; 6 oz (170g) stoned Raisins<br \/>\n&#8211; 6 oz (170g) Currants<br \/>\n&#8211; 4 oz (113g) Minced Apples<br \/>\n&#8211; 5 oz (142g) Brown Sugar<br \/>\n&#8211; 2 oz (57g) Candied Peel<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bd teaspoon Nutmeg and mace<br \/>\n&#8211; A few grains of Salt<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 oz  (88ml) Brandy<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 Eggs<\/p>\n<p>METHOD<br \/>\n1. Boil the pudding cloth for 20 minutes. Then carefully remove it from the pot and lay it out flat. Spread suet, lard or butter across it and rub in a liberal amount of flour.<br \/>\n2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix. Then form into a ball and place in the middle of the pudding cloth. Gathering the cloth tightly around it, twist the cloth at the &#8220;neck&#8221; then wrap it with a string several times and tie tightly around it.<br \/>\n3. Boil a large pot of water with an upside down plate on the bottom of the pot. Set the pudding in the boiling water and let boil for 3 1\/2 hours. Check often and add more boiling water when necessary.<br \/>\n4. Remove pudding from the water and allow to dry before unwrapping. This can be served right away or aged for several weeks\/months. <\/p>\n<p>Punch sauce for Sweet Puddings<br \/>\nThis may be served with custard, plain bread, and plum-puddings. With two ounces of sugar and a quarter of a pint of water, boil very gently the rind of half a small lemon, and somewhat less of orange-peel, from fifteen to twenty minutes; strain out the rinds, thicken the sauce with an ounce and a half of butter and nearly a teaspoonful of flour, add a half-glass of brandy, the same of white wine, two thirds of a glass of rum, with the juice of half an orange, and rather less of lemon-juice: serve the sauce very hot, but do not allow it to boil after the spirit is stirred in.<br \/>\n&#8211; 2oz Sugar<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bc pint Water<br \/>\n&#8211; Lemon &#038; Orange Rind<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 \u00bd oz Butter<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 Teaspoon Flour<br \/>\n&#8211; \u00bd Wineglassful Brandy<br \/>\n&#8211;
