Ingoldsby Christmas Pudding

Take of stoned raisins, well-washed currants, and finely-shredded suet, each one pound; of flour and stale grated bread-crumbs, mixed, one pound; and one pound of sifted sugar. Put these ingredients into a large bowl with a quarter of an ounce each of candied peel, cut into bits, and mixed spice, the grated rind of a lemon, and a small nutmeg. Moisten with eight eggs, strained and well beaten, and two glasses of brandy or rum. This quantity suffices for two good-sized puddings, enough for six persons. Time, six hours and a half for the whole quantity, four hours for half. Probable cost, 3s. 4d., exclusive of the brandy.
