Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 c Raisins 1 c All-purpose flour
1 c Sultanas 1/4 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
1 c Currants 1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
1 c Guiness extra stout (ale) 1/4 ts Ground allspice
2/3 c Mixed candied peel 1/2 c Dark brown sugar; firmly
1/4 c Almonds; blanched, finely -packed
-chopped 2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
8 tb Solid shortening, suet, or 1 pn Salt
-unsalted butter Hard sauce
1/4 c Fine, dry breadcrumbs

-------------------------HARD SAUCE------------------------------
2 ea Sticks unsalted butter; 3 tb To 4 tb brandy
-softened 1 tb Orange juice
1 1/4 c Confectioners' sugar; sifted 2 ts Orange rind; grated (opt'l)

In a nonreactive bowl combine the dried fruit and Guinness, stir to
combine, and let sit, covered, overnight.
Butter well a 1-1/2 quart pudding mold or heatproof bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the macerated fruit with the almonds,
sugar, flour, and spices.
In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, shortening, eggs, and a
pinch of salt. Add to the fruit mixture and stir to combine well.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mold or bowl, cover with the
lid or a double layer of buttered aluminum foil, and tie with kitchen
string.
Place the mold or bowl on a rack set in a deep pan, add enough hot
water to come halfway up the sides of the mold, and steam pudding,
covered, for 1-1/2 hours.
Let the pudding cool to warm and unmold. Ideally, if time permits,
store in mold or bowl for approximately 4 months to allow the pudding
to mature. Reheat by steaming for another hour. Serve with Hard
Sauce. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

Hard Sauce:
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until
light and fluffy. Beat in the brandy, a little at a time. Beat in
the orange juice and rind. Transfer to a serving dish. Sauce may be
chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Yield: 1 cup.
