Rice and Gooseberry Pudding

Instructions

1. Spread six ounces of rice equally over a moist and well-floured pudding-cloth, and place on it a pint of green gooseberries, measured after the heads and stalks have been taken off.
2. Gather the cloth up carefully round the fruit, give room for the rice to swell, and boil the pudding for an hour and a quarter.
3. Very sweet sauce, or plenty of sugar, should be eaten with it.
4. Proportions: Rice, 6 oz.; green gooseberries, 1 pint: 1-1/2 hour.
