Pudding (An Excellent Plum)

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, 6 oz. of raisins, the currants, 6 oz. of chopped suet, the brown sugar, 1 oz. of citron, and 1 teaspoonful of mixed spices — ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg — well together.
2. Have ready the above proportions of mashed carrot and mashed potato, and stir them into the other ingredients.
3. Add the treacle or syrup and the candied lemon peel, but no other liquid, or it will be spoiled.
4. Boil in a mould, but do not fill it quite, as it must have room to swell. Let it boil for four hours.
5. This pudding is best mixed over-night. Serve with brandy sauce.
