original recipe, boil a tender , nice piece of beef -- any piece that is clear from sinew and gristle; boil it till it is perfectly tender. when it is cold, chop it very fine, and be very careful to get out every particle of bone and gristle. the suet is sweeter and better to boil half an hour or more in the liquor the beef has been boiled in; but few people do this. pare, core, and chop the apples fine. if you use raisins, stone them. if you use currants, wash and dry them at the fire. two lb of beef, after it is chopped; three quarters of a lb of suet; 1 lb and a quarter of sugar; three lb of apples; two lb of currants, or raisins. put in a gill of brandy; lemon-brandy is better, if you have any prepared. make it quite moist with new cider. i should not think a quart would be too much; the more moist the better, if it does not spill out into the oven. a very little pepper. if you use corn meat, or tongue, for pies, it should be well soaked, and boiled very tender. if you use fresh beef, salt is necessary in the seasoning. 1 oz of cinnamon, 1 oz of cloves. two nutmegs add to the pleasantness of the flavor; and a bit of sweet butter put upon the top of each pie, makes them rich; but these are not necessary. baked three quarters of an hour. if your apples are rather sweet, grate in a whole lemon., modern adaptation, beef round or leftover roast, suet, apples, raisins or currants, white sugar, brown sugar, pepper, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, brandy, cider or apple juice, double recipe for pie crust, butter (optional)
