Инструкции
- Combine the dry fruits and peels in a large bowl and sprinkle with cognac. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight (or possibly longer - in that case you may want to add in more cognac).
- To the fruits in the large bowl, add in nuts and suet.
- Resift flour with the baking soda, salt and spices; then sift over the fruit mix while tossing and mixing with a wooden spoon to proportionately distribute the dry ingredients. Stir in jam and brown sugar.
- Prepare the bread crumbs (use the food processor, removing crusts first if they are crusty and hard).
- Sprinkle bread crumbs into the sherry, mixing with a fork. Add in to the fruit mix.
- Add in the beaten egg yolks; mix thoroughly. Last, mix in beaten egg whites.
- Prepare two pudding molds.
- This recipe makes enoughfor one 2-qt mold, and the remainder can be steamed in a coffee can - a 26-oz can makes a round pudding about 3" tall. (You could make one huge pudding if you have a container.)
- Grease molds with butter and then sprinkle them with sugar or possibly dust with flour. Arrange candied cherries in molds, if you like (cherries should be dusted with flour). Fill 2-qt mold no more than 2/3 full with batter. Cover pudding mold with its lid, fasten with clamps or possibly tie on securely.
- For the coffee can, cover with its plastic lid, tie it on and wrap all with aluminum foil. (The plastic will split.) For a bowl without a lid, cover the top with layered waxed paper tied down securely, then do the same with aluminum foil.
