Golden Pudding. (Inverary Inn. 1877.)
6 ozs. beef suet, 10 ozs. bread-crumbs, 8 ozs white or moist sugar, 4 eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls of orange marmalade, a little nutmeg, and, if necessary, milk to moisten, if the eggs are not enough alone. Boil 4 hours in a buttered melon-shaped tin mould. Serve with lemon sauce as follows:
For Sauce: Cut the peel of a lemon into fine shreds, no white, and add, with the juice of the lemon and fine sugar to taste, to 1 pt. of water. Simmer 20 minutes, and pour over the pudding, leaving the shredded lemon on the top.
Or use Middleton Sauce (see Sweet Sauces).
This pudding "turns out" better from a meat-pudding basin, but in that case requires cooking longer, i.e. 7 to 8 hours. The pudding should be moist and rich, not close and dry.
