Several of you may have silver wrapped bricks of plum pudding from prior years sitting in the back corner of your refrigerator. It does not get better with age, so throw it away. But you may have been curious about what was in it. This is the official recipe. This recipe is not as difficult as it looks. There is nothing to putting the ingredients together. I recommend, however, that you reduce the suet by about 1/3. To cook the pudding(s), simply put them in coffee cans, cover with muslin (or a piece of a bed sheet), put them in the oven at about 250 degrees with a large pan of hot water on the lower rack, or oven floor. They are done when they are brown on top.
