CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING (for children)

Shred finely three-quarters of a pound of beef suet, and add to it a pinch of salt, one pound and a half of bread-crumbs, half a pound of flour, three-quarters of a pound of muscatel raisins (these can be purchased loose, not in bunches; they are then almost as cheap as the ordinary pudding-raisins, and the flavour is very superior), three-quarters of a pound of currants, picked and dried, two ounces of candied lemon and citron together, and half a large nutmeg. Mix these thoroughly, then add four eggs and milk enough to moisten it, but not too much, or the pudding will be heavy. Tie it in a pudding-cloth well floured, and boil for five or six hours. Probable cost, 2s. Sufficient for eight or ten children.
