Christmas Plum Pudding Recipe

From MISS MARY E. BUSSELLE, of New Jersey, Lady Manager.
One-half pound flour; one-half pound chopped suet; one-half pound
currants; one-half pound prunes; one-quarter pound grated raw carrots;
three-quarters pound grated raw potatoes; one-half pound brown sugar;
one large teaspoonful of baking powder; pinch of salt. Flavor with a
teaspoonful each of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. The moisture from the
raw vegetables makes sufficient wetting.

One pound seedless raisins; one pound dried currants; one pound stale
bread crumbs; one-half pound finely chopped beef suet; one-fourth
