Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 4-5 stick fine rhubarb
- 1/4 lb moist sugar
- 3/4 lb suet-crust No. 1215
Instructions
- Make a suet-crust with 3/4 lb. of flour, by recipe No. 1215, and line a buttered basin with it.
- Wash and wipe the rhubarb, and, if old, string it--that is to say, pare off the outside skin.
- Cut it into inch lengths, fill the basin with it, put in the sugar, and cover with crust.
- Pinch the edges of the pudding together, tie over it a floured cloth, put it into boiling water, and boil from 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
- Turn it out of the basin, and serve with a jug of cream and sifted sugar.
