About half an hour will serve, and give the
top a yellow crispiness. Before you put in the Marrow, put in a quarter of
a pound and a half of Raisins of the Sun, and as much of Currants; Ordering
them so, that they may not fall to the bottom, but be all about the
pudding.
MY LADY OF PORTLAND'S MINCED PYES
Take four pounds of Beef, Veal or Neats-Tongues, and eight pounds of Suet;
and mince both the meat and Suet very small, befor you put them together.
Then mingle them well together and mince it very small, and put to it six
pounds of Currants washed and picked very clean. Then take the Peel of two
Limons, and half a score of Pippins, and mince them very small. Then take
above an Ounce of Nutmegs, and a quarter of an Ounce of Mace, some Cloves
and Cinnamon, and put them together, and sweeten them with Rose-water and
Sugar. And when you are ready to put them into your Paste, take Citron and
Orangiadoe, and slice them very thin, and lay them upon the meat. If you
please, put dates upon the top of them. And put amongst the meat an Ounce
of Caraway seeds.
