It is a good sort of boiled plum pudding, not so rich and heavy; is cinnamon colored when made right. It is well worth while to weigh the ingredients as they are uncertain things to measure.

1/2 pound bread crumbs minced fine-about 4 cups.

1/4 pound chopped suet - 1 cup.

6 ounces raisins or currants - 1 cup.

Same of chopped apples.

Nutmeg - about 1/4 grated.

Mix the above together dry, then beat up in another bowl:

4 eggs.

6 tablespoons milk or water.

3 tablespoons sugar.

Minced lemon peel, or a little extract if at hand.

Stir all well together; tie up in a pudding cloth and boil 4 hours. Serve with hard sauce or any other plum pudding sauce.
