Hog, or Black Puddings

Throw a little salt into the blood as soon as it is drawn, stir it well, and, when cold, strain. Mix with it a third of its measure in milk, or good stock, and stir into it two-thirds of finely-shredded beef suet to one-third of dried oat-meal, until it is a stiff batter. Add pepper, salt, and finely-chopped onions, and, if liked, a little parsley, marjoram, or winter savoury. Cleanse the skins thoroughly. Cut them into equal lengths, and fill them with the mixture. Sew them securely. Put them into boiling water, and boil them gently, pricking them as they swell with a large darning-needle, to let out the air. Hang them in a dry place until wanted. Time, one hour to boil.
