Mary kellow's plum pudding

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Raisins stoned
1 pounds Currants cleaned
1 pounds Sugar brown
1 pounds Suet chopped fine
1 pounds Bread crumbs fine
1 pounds Lemon, citron and orange peel cut fine
1 Nutmeg grated

Directions

Break in 12 eggs and mix all well, stirring a good while and adding 2 or 3 large handsful of flour and half a tea cup full of good liquor.

Scald your cloth and flour it well. Tie the pudding pretty tight. It does not swell much. Boil 6 hours. -M.K.

Note: I have given the recipe exactly as it was written. I prefer to boil the puddings in covered bowls. -M.W.

Mary Kellow a notable cook, somewhat like the famous Mrs. Beaton I think. She tossed off measurements like a dozen eggs and a pitcher of cream.
