West Country Pudding

Take a quarter of a pound of good baking apples, weighed after they are pared and cored. Mince them finely, and mix with them a quarter of a pound of currants picked and dried, a quarter of a pound of finely-grated bread-crumbs, three table-spoonfuls of moist sugar, and two well-beaten eggs. Press the mixture into a buttered mould which it will quite fill, plunge it into boiling water, and keep it boiling quickly till done enough. Send sweet sauce to table with it. If liked, cold boiled rice which has been drained from the milk in which it was cooked may be used instead of bread-crumbs. Time to boil the pudding, one hour and a half. Probable cost, 5d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
