PUDDING"
from Mrs. w. E. M, Washington J
In your column a few days age
some one asked for directions fol-
making pudding of liver and scrap
meat of hog.
Cook all together in water te
cover, putting such portions that
are fat at bottom, and liver, meal
and heart on top to prevent sticking
Proportions are two heads to one
liver, so that it will not be too dry
After cooking thoroughly lift out OF
liquor and cool. Pull from bones
and grind all in meat grinder no;
as fine as sausage. Now put back
into a heavy kettle, preferably
porcelain or iron. Season with salt
and pepper and cook until all water
is out, stirring constantly. Pack
into stone crooks and cover with
grease If there is not enough to
cover the meat when cold. This
will keep for weeks in a cool place.
The broth should be left cool
grease taken off, then strained and
scapple made.

off with soap and water.
