Directions
MRS. MARY FONTAINE COSBY, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY (1820).
_Contributed by her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Alice C. Slaughter, Louisville, Ky. Through Miss Alice W. Richardson, Louisville, Ky._
Pour over five teacups of bread crumbs, enough scalding milk to moisten them--about a pint or a little more--add to the bread crumbs and milk, two large iron spoonsful of flour, a teacup brown sugar, teaspoon of salt, a cup of chopped suet, four beaten eggs, teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 of ginger, 1 of allspice and ½ of cloves. Have three teacups of raisins that have been seeded and cut in half, the same of currants and a large piece of citron sliced thin, some candied orange and lemon peel, some almonds blanched and cut in half, or pecans. At the last put in a teaspoon of soda dissolved in a very little hot water. Boil four hours. Stick blanched and split almonds all over it, and pour on some brandy or whiskey and burn.
