Bread Plum Pudding

Cut half a loaf of dry wheat bread into slices in a deep dish and pour over it a pint of milk and water, equal parts, let it stand until perfectly soft, then mash it up finely and add a piece of butter as large as an egg, half a pint of coffee sugar, three eggs well beaten, the grated peel and juice of a large lemon or orange; stir in a tea-cup of stoned and chopped raisins, one cup of currants well washed and one cup of citron cut in thin pieces; one wine glass of wine may be added although it is not necessary. Steam it one and one-half hours. Serve with a rich sauce, cold or hot.
