T -108-W CANADIAN NATIONAL tr,Plum Pudding Time Is With Us Again Plum pudding time is here again and if our pudding is to be properly seasoned by a few weeks hanging in a cool spot we must get down to the business of cutting up our fruity in- gredients. It need not be a labor as the work may be spread over a per- iod of several days, a little of the pre- paration being done in odd moments each day, and then the final mixing and adding of spices and moisture and the steaming or boiling in pud- ding bags, which fills our houses with the pungent Christmas odors of peel, fruit and hot spices. The recipe giv- en below will yield two or three plen- tiful puddings: 3 lbs. raisins. 14 lb. lemon peel. 1/4 lb. orange peel 1/4 Ib. citron. peel 1 lb. suet 1 Ib. brown sugar 2 cups bread crumbs 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of cinnamon i/ teaspoon of ground nutmeg M teaspoon cloves teaspoon allspice 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 eggs 1/2 cup grape juice 1/2 cup of sour milk curd. Chop the raisins either in the meat chopper or with a hand chopper, cut the peel in thin slices with a sharp lknife and sprinkle with flour. The _feel is more easily managed if first allowed to soak in warn water, to 'remove the sugar coating and soften it a little. Remove the membrane from the suet and chop finely. Sift the flout, -baking soda, salt and spices and add the sifted sugar. Then add the bread crumbs, suet and fruit. Mix -well and add the well -beaten eggs, grape juice, and sour milk. Mix thor- 43ughly and divide batter in two or three lots, according to the number and size of puddings desired, place :in floured pudding bags or in greased moulds. If placed in moulds cover .and steam for four hours. If in bags plahe on saucer in steamer and steam for 4 hours. This pudding may .be boiled if preferred, but do not .forget the saucer, which helps to ]eep the rounded surface and pro- tects the pudding bag from sticking to the pot. This One is Different. Another delicious plum pudding, a ilittle different from the ordinary, is nnade as follows: 1 cup grated raw carrot 1/2 cup finely chopped suet or melt- ed shortening 1 cup seeded raisins 1 cup grated raw potato 1 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon of soda 1 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sift the flour with soda and salt :and mix in the chopped fruit (rais- 5ns, potato and carrot), sugar, and spices with the suet or melted short- ening. Moisten with a little milk, sour or sweet. Do not use more than just enough to make a very stiff .dough. Fill a buttered mould or pud- ding bag and steam for 31/2 hours. If mould is used it should be covered with a buttered paper. This is a' very inexpensive pudding and one that is invariably light. May be used the same day it is made. Old English Plum Pudding. 11/4 cups of flour 2 2-3 cups of stale bread crumbs 2 cups of raisins (seeded) 2 cups of suet, finely chopped 114 cups sugar 1 cup molasses 1/4 pound candied orange p 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon mace 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon cloves 4 eggs well b ten 2 teaspoons salt. Mix ingredients in the order given :and if any extra moisture is required add a little milk, sour or sweet. Turn into a floured pudding bag. Tie securely, leaving some space t% allow the pudding to swell and plunge into -a kettle of boiling water. Boil for five hours, keeping the pudding cov- ered with water all the time. Hang in a cool place until ready to use. Hard Sauce For Pudding. (Cream one-third cup butter, add gradually 1 cup brown sugar and one -teaspoon of lemon juice, ratafia or vanilla flavoring. Beat well for five minutes or until light and creamy. ,Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Caramel Sauce. 1 cup sugar 1 cup boiling water 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon butter Pinch of salt. Caramelize the ,sugar an add 'water slowly. When sugar is quite i water. 'One-quarter cup clear coffee may be substituted for the same amount of water and gives the sauce an interestingly different flavor. A square of unbleached factory cotton of not too close a weave makes an excellent pudding bag. THE QUEEN'S DAY How does the queen spend her day at Buckingham Palace? An ordinary day in the queen's life is described by the Hon. Katharine Villiers, cousin of Lord Clarendon, in "Memoirs of a Maid of Honor." It is as follows: 8 a.m.—Rises. 9 a.m.—Breakfast with the King. Newspapers glanced at. Personal let- ters opened. Goes to sitting room. 16 a.m.—Lady-in-waiting brings the morning's post, and letters gone through. Audiences—Intemwiews members of the household. Walk in the garden. 1 p.m. 'Lunch with one or two guests. Visits to hospitals, etc. Perhaps a little shopping. Tea—The Queen presides, sitting on a sofa. Relatives call, sometimes Princess Elizabeth. 6-7 p.m.—Rest in sitting room. 7 p.m. ---Dressing for dinner. Dinner. 'Miss Villiers recalls ho4 she was once summoned to the ballroom at Buckingham Palace to help with ar- rangements for a court. Prince George, she says, draped a holland sheet as substitute for a court train, on Princess Mary, who made the appropriate curtsies to the two draped thrones, Some letters to the Queen which Lady Katharine Coke, as lady-in-wait- ing, was outlining to her majesty at Balmoral, provide Miss Villiers with the following: "Here" (says Lady Katharine Coke), "is an old lady, advising- a particular kind of mustard plaster for a cold, andbegging the Queen to try it! "Sometimes letters from children are sweet and pathetic. They nearly always begin 'Dear Queen,' and end 'Yours affectionately' .And sometimes there is a pressed flower inside. They are always answered. 1t was at Balmoral that Miss Vil- liers was once summoned to the ball- room to find a piper playing, and in the middle of the floor the Queen, Princess Mary, and two little princes going through the eightsome reel with the French governess and three trim housemaids. Miss Villiers, of course, has other and more serious matters to record. She wonders if any woman who says "I should like to be a queen" realiz- es the work and responsibility of queenship.
