Mrs Grieve, Coillesdene, Portobello. CHRISTMAS PUDDING IN RHYME. {By Mrs John Stevc72son, ChapelhalL) If you wish to make the pudding in which everyone delights. Of six pretty new laid eggs you must take the yolks and whites, Peat them well up in a basin till they thoroughly combine. And be sure you chop the suet up particularly fine. Take a pound of well-stoned raisins and a pound of currants dried, A pound of pounded sugar and some candied peel beside, Rub them all well up together in a pound of wheaten flour. And let them stand to settle for a quarter of an hour. Then tie the mixture in a cloth and put it in a pot. Some people like the water cold and some prefer it hot, But though I don’t know which of these two plans I ought to praise, I know it ought to boil an hour for every pound it weighs.
