 Directions

JUST BEFORE SERVING
Garnish with holly
Ignite with brandy

Thickly butter and dust with flour two 1-quart molds
(or dome-shaped china, ceramic or glass bowls). Set
aside.

Beat the 1/2 lb. butter until soft. Add sugar and
beat until fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs and
syrup.

Sift flour with salt and spices; fold into the butter
mixture with the lemon juice, grated rinds, bread
crumbs, fruits, mixed peel and brandy.

Spoon mixture into the 2 prepared molds. If molds
don't have lids, cover each with a circle of waxed
paper, then a piece of foil pleated across the center
and securely tied in place. Leave overnight in
refrigerator.

Put molds in a large saucepan with enough water to
come halfway up the sides of the molds. Cover and
steam for 5 hours; remove from the water.

Let cool completely, then cover with a clean piece of
waxed paper and a pudding cloth (muslin or closely
woven cheesecloth) secured with a string and ends of
the cloth tied in a knot over the pudding mold.

Leave in the refrigerator to mature before using.
Before serving, steam about 3 hours. Remove from
mold. Bring to the table blazing in 'ignited brandy,
and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top.'

Yield: Two 2 lb. puddings.
