1 cup suet

1 cup sugar
2 oz. lemon peel (grated)

Directions:
Currants and raisins need to be washed, dried, and a bit of flour on them. Beat the two eggs well. Add the cup of cold water. Stir in all other ingredients. Put in a large can. Cover with aluminum foil, seal well, tape up with masking tape.
Place the can in a pot of boiling water, and boil 3 1/2 hours, then store in a cool place (not refrigerated).
Heat (the can in boiling water) 1 hour at serving time (take the hard sauce out of the fridge when you start to heat the pudding).
To make the hard sauce, Grandma used 1/4 pound of butter, added about 1 cup of icing sugar (enough to make it hard), 1 - 2 tsp. of vanilla, and beat it with an electric mixer. Refrigerate overnight for it to harden.
Put Christmas Pudding on a platter and smother it with rum. Turn off the lights, light the pudding and watch it go!
