Title: Mary Litchfield Grimwood’s 1890 English Plum Puddings
Categories: Christmas, Desserts, Fruits, Harned 1994, Nuts
Yield: 6 puddings

4 1/2 c All-purpose flour*; sifted
4 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Allspice
1/2 ts Cloves
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 Box muscat raisins; seeded
1 Box seedless nectar raisins
— (golden raisins)
-or-
1 Box sultanas
1 Box currants
2 c Finely chopped apples
1 1/2 c Chopped black walnuts and
-pecans; mixed
1 lb Good beef suet
— ground by butcher
2 c Light brown sugar
6 Eggs; well beaten
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 c Soft fresh bread crumbs
— from homemade-type bread

*Plus additional flour for dusting fruits and adding to batter if
needed.

Grease and flour six 1-pound coffee cans or pudding molds.

Sift the 4 1/2 cups flour with next 7 dry ingredients into a large
bowl. In a separate bowl, dust the raisins, currants, apples and nuts
with 2 tablespoons additional flour.

Mix together the suet, brown sugar, eggs and buttermilk. Add the suet
mixture gradually to the sifted dry ingredients, mixing well. Add
fruits and bread crumbs; mix until well-blended. (If batter is not
stiff, stir in additional flour as needed.)

Divide mixture among prepared cans or molds, filling them half full.
Cover each with a double sheet of waxed paper and tie down securely.

Pressure cooker: Place hot water in the bottom of a large pressure
cooker/canner, using enough to reach a level just below the bottom of
a steaming rack. Place cans or molds on the rack. Cover the pressure
canner and steam the puddings 20 minutes with the vent tube (or
petcock) open. Then attach the automatic pressure control or close
the petcock and cook for 50 minutes at 10 lbs. pressure. Remove the
pressure cooker from heat. When pressure is completely reduced, open
and remove the puddings from the cooker.

Regular steamer: In a large stockpot or boiling water bath canner, add
water to come up just below the bottom of the steaming rack. Add
puddings, cover and steam for 6 hours, adding water as necessary to
keep from boiling dry. It helps if the lid is tightfitting; if not,
try putting a weight on the lid to keep it down, or cover the pot rim
with a strip of aluminum foil to help the lid fit more tightly.

To serve, slice and resteam in the top of a double boiler over
simmering water until hot, about 1 hour. Serve with hard sauce and
whipped cream flavored with brandy or the Wilson family’s favorite
sauce (see recipe).

This pudding will keep for months in the refrigerator or may be
frozen up to one year.
