Fruit Dumpling Recipe
Make a nice suet crust, as directed for SUET DUMPLINGS
on page 53, roll it out about quarter of an inch thick, spread it with
ten cents' worth of ripe fruit, quarter of a pound of sugar, (cost three
cents,) and a teaspoonful of mixed spice; roll it up, tie it in a cloth
wet with scalding water, and well floured next the dumpling, and boil it
in a large kettle half full of boiling water for two hours, taking care
that the pot does not stop boiling, or remain uncovered, or the dumpling
will be heavy.
When it is done take it from the pot, unroll it from the cloth, and
serve it with a few cents' worth of molasses; it will cost about twenty
cents.
