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.
