A Small Plum Pudding image

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe in Beeton's Book of Household Management. I have simplified it and reduced it to more manageable proportions. Time to prepare and cook, as well as the number of servings are all guesswork.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup breadcrumbs, bread raspings sound like dry bread crumbs
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, originally 1 c beef suet
3/4 cup muscatel raisins, golden raisins might be an acceptable substitute
7/8 cup currants
1/2 cup sultana raisin, the total for the muscatels, currents, and sultanas is 1 1/2 pound, mix and match as desired
1 1/2 ounces candied peel, I plan to use 'that stuff they sell in tubs at Christmastime to make fruitcakes with.'
1/2 lemon, zest of, only, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, bread crumbs, eggs and soft butter well.
  • Add remaining ingredients one by one, mixing well after each addition.
  • Tie up in a clean new buttered and floured pudding cloth OR place into buttered pudding mold(s) with cloth tied over top.
  • Boil (in a cloth) OR steam (in molds). Original recipe, four times this size, was to boil for four hours. Time should be shorter for a smaller amount.
  • Serve with Brandy Sauce.
