My mother has been making this for as far back as I can remember. A recipe passed down by my grandmother. Ingredients:
4 cups breadcrumbs |
2 cups sugar |
2 cups flour |
2 cups butter |
1 cup molasses |
1 teaspoon mace |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups seeded raisins |
2 cups currants |
1/4 cup citron |
1/4 cup mixed peel |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
5 eggs |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Put into prepared cans or molds. My mom uses large coffee tins or baby formula tins. Cover with waxed paper and then foil. Make sure you leave some room at the top for the pudding to rise. Secure with string.
3. Boil cans in a large pot or pan for 5 hours.
