Cherry Roly Poly

Remove the fiber and skin from five ounces of suet and chop it very fine; add half a pound of flour and one-fourth of a teaspoon of salt; mix well. Add sufficient cold water to make it stick together, and roll out on a well-floured board to the thickness of an inch. Cover well with pitted cherries, dust with sugar and roll quickly; tie in a well-floured cloth, leaving room for it to swell. Place in a kettle of boiling water and keep it boiling steadily for two hours, or it may be steamed for two hours and a half. Serve hot with any nice sweet sauce, or with sweetened cream.
