Mix well together 1 cupful suet, 1 cupful milk, 1 cupful molasses, 1 tablespoonful ginger, 1 teaspoonful ground cloves, 1/4 nutmeg; add flour to make a stiff batter, and 1 teaspoonful baking-powder, and last of all mix in the batter 1 1/2 cupfuls of any kind of fruit well floured. Wet a cloth-bag-an old napkin makes a good bag-and sprinkle conscientiously with flour; then pour in the batter and tie up the neck of the bag very tightly, leaving a generous room for the pudding to swell, for it is as expansive as gossip. Have a kettle of boiling water and dump in the bag. You must turn the bag every 10 minutes for the first hour, then boil it for two hours longer, and if you have not let the supply of water run too low, or forgot to turn it, or scalded yourself in the manipulations and thus left too much of the pudding above water in your haste, or pricked the bag with your turning fork, or done anything else ruinous, you will have a pudding not nearly so indigestible as you might suppose.
