Damson Pudding

Shred up very finely four ounces of good beef suet, and rub it well into half a pound of flour. Use as much water as will make a smooth firm paste, then line a well-buttered basin, and cut a cover for the top. Fill with the damsons, and sweeten to taste. Tie a floured cloth firmly over the top, and boil steadily for two and a half to three hours. Apples and damsons do very well together. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for six or seven persons.
