Pudding, Ministeriel

Place in a basin four ounces chopped beef-kidney suet, four ounces granulated sugar, two ounces each well-picked currants and Smyrna raisins, one ounce chopped, candied apricots, one peeled and cored chopped apple, the chopped rind of a quarter of lemon, three eggs, two tablespoons rum, and mix well until thoroughly amalgamated. Lightly butter a heavy, damp cloth the size of a napkin, sprinkle a little flour over, pour preparation into centre of cloth, fold up the four ends and lightly tie pudding. Boil in plenty of water for one and a half hours, lift up, let stand for five minutes, untie, turn on a hot dish, pour rum sauce over and serve.
