3 cups milk or water - 11/2 pints. 1 cup yellow corn-meal - 6 ounces.
1 teacup minced suet - 3 ounces.
1/2 teacup black molasses - 3 ounces.
2 eggs. Little salt.
1 cup seedless raisins - 4 ounces.
Same of currants.
1/2 teaspoon ginger, cinnamon, or grated lemon rind.
Make mush with the meal and water and let it cook well with the steam shut in for an hour or two. Then mix in all the other ingredients, the fruit previously dusted with flour, and bake it in a pan or mold about an hour. Cover with greased paper to keep the fruit from blistering. Three heaping cups of corn-meal mush ready made will do as well. The above makes a quart of pudding.
