 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  Cups          flour
    1 1/2  Cups          brown sugar
    1 1/2  Cups          suet
    1 1/2  Cups          raisins
    1 1/2  Cups          currants
    1 1/2  Cups          grated carrots
    1 1/2  Cups          grated potatoes
    1 1/2  Tsp           baking soda
    1 1/2  Tsp           cinnamon
    1      Tsp           nutmeg
      1/4  Tsp           cloves
                         Hard Sauce:
      1/3  Cup           Butter
    1      Cup           Sugar (Powdered Or Granulated) -- Brown Or Maple
    1      Teaspoon      Vanilla -- * See Note
 
 * or a grating of lemon rind or nutmeg, or a sprinkle of powdered cinnamon.
 
 Mix ingredients together.  Fill pudding mold 2/3 full and steam 3-4 hours. 
 Serve with hard sauce.
 
 Hard Sauce:
 Cream the butter until very soft. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Store in a
 cool place until ready for use. Cream or milk may be added with more sugar
 to make more sauce. This sauce may be used with a hot pudding of any kind.
 
 Note: A pudding mold is usually made of metal and is a bowl with a tight
 fitting lid.  You may use any heat-proof container which can be tightly
 covered and which will fit inside of a sauce pan. I didn't have a rack
 which would fit inside my pot so I used a couple of old butter knives (with
 metal handles). The handles were thicker than the blades so I pointed every
 other one in the opposite direction. It worked out fine.
