| DLUM PUDDING seems almost
L as much a part of Christmas as
holly and carol-singing. And while
we are usually surfeited with
good things before we get to the
plum pudding stage. bit of rich,
mummy" pudding is needed 10

Formerly a most intriguing de-
liciousness was given to the pud-
ding by pouring brandy over the
mold and sending il to the table
in fascinating blue flames. Now
we fill the pudding so "chuck
full" of richness that this flavor
is not missed.
A rich plum pudding can be
steamed and kept almost indefin-
itely. This makes a delightful
Christmas gift from the kitchen.
Steam the puddings in small
bowls. unmold and wrap them in
sparkling paper and tie with gay
bows threaded with holly.
These rich puddings are of high
food value and must be counted
as an integral part of the meal
when planning the Christmas din
ner. Small servings should be
given.
The more simple puddings are
desirable to serve to children.
These puddings are at their best
when freshly made. and for this
reason may be difficult to work in
with the other dinner prepara-
tions. However. little planning
will make it possible TO find room
for the steaming of the pudding,
and the assurance that the small
guests or members of the family
are not oyer-taxing digestions is
worth the extra effort.
The true English plum pudding
is boiled in Toured pudding bag.
We prefer to steam our puddingS
in attractive molds suitable to
send to the table. The molds
may be individual or there may
be one large one.
The molds for the puddings
must be we'll creased so that the
pudding will slip out easily. The
water must not stop boiling dur
ing the steaming process and the
covers or the mOlQS must III ClOSe-
ly so that no moisture can get
into the pudding while it is steam
ing. With these precautions in.
