Ingredients

1 lb. currants
1 lb. seedless raisins
1 c. citron, ground fine

1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs

Preparation

Mix all ingredients together, adding enough flour to make quite stiff.
Take cloth of muslin, wring out of boiling water and spread in bowl. Sprinkle cloth with 3/4-inch thickness of flour. Put in mixture. Add 3/4-inch flour on top and sides so that mixture is entirely covered by flour.
Tie the cloth about 1-inch above mixture to allow expansion from boiling.
