Town Pudding

Shred six ounces of suet very finely, and free it from skin. Mix with it a small pinch of salt, six ounces of moist sugar, half a pound of chopped apples (weighed after being pared and cored), half a pound of finely-grated bread-crumbs, and half a tea-spoonful of finely-cut lemon-rind. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, and press them very tightly into a buttered basin which they will quite fill. Tie a floured cloth over the pudding, and boil it four hours. It will not require any moisture. Turn it out carefully, and send sweet sauce or wine sauce to table with it. Time to boil, four hours. Probable cost, 9d. Sufficient for half a dozen persons.
