How are currants cleaned for pud
dings?"
Currants should not be washed, as
this carries most of the goodness of the
fruit. Instead put the required amount
of currants in colander and sprinkle
with flour; rub well with finger tips
until all the -four is removed and the
currants separated from one another.
The flour and any foreign substance
will pass through the sieve. Now rub
the currants with a soft cloth for
moment and use as directed.
In making puddings for HOLIDAYS it
is well worth while to use only the best
ingredients for greater quantity is
not required and if any inferior article
is used the whole mixture is tainted.
There are three kinds of puddings-
baked, boiled and steamed. Boiled pud-
dings are tied in a foured cloth and
while they are cooking they must be
turned over to prevent all the fruit
from settling to the bottom. Always
allow room in the bag for the pudding
to swell in the cooking and remember
that twice as long is needed for boiling
puddings than for baking.
Steamed puddings are placed in well
buttered dishes, cloth tied over the
top and put in steamer. The water
beneath must be kept at a steady boil.
Baked puddings must be stirred once
or twice while baking to keep the in
gradients from settling.

Suet for Christmas pies, puddings
and cakes must be chopped; to do this

All the fibres must be removed or the
suet will not separate into tiny bits as
it must do.
Raisins are now seedless but some
cooks prefer those containing seeds,
claiming that they are more full of
meat. If boiling water is poured over
them and allowed to stay on until cool
the seeds may be removed quickly with
