LEMON ROLY-POLY PUDDING (excellent)

Take the pulp from two large, fresh lemons. Remove the pips, weigh the lemons, and boil them with an equal weight of sugar for a quarter of an hour. Turn the mixture out to cool. Mix six ounces of finely-shredded suet with three-quarters of a pound of flour, add a pinch of salt, and as much water as will make it into a firm paste. Roll it out about half an inch in thickness, spread the lemon mixture upon it, roll it round and round into a long pudding, pinch the ends securely, tie it in a floured cloth, put it into boiling water, and let it boil quickly until done enough, which will be in about two hours. Probable cost, 6d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
