Primitive Plum Pudding
Mrs. Prince
Take a common sized brick loaf of a day old, take
off all the crust, and cut it into slices as thin as
possible. Take one & a half pounds of raisins, one & a
half pounds of currants a quarter of a pound of kidney
beef suet chopped as fine as possible. Take a
large tin baking pan spread a layer of suet in the
bottom, then a layer of bread, then a layer of raisins
& currants in succession until all the bread are
expended. boil half an oz. of Cassia Cinnamon
in two quarts of milk until the [citrine?] is [ephaeted?]
beat up twelve eggs, which sweeten to your taste
add one glass of brandy, two of wine, and three
of rose water, strain the milk, & while nearly
boiling mix milk with the above stirring it all the
time; grate in a nutmeg, and pour the custard
over the pudding, let it stand two hours, then
bake it two hours in a hot oven.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
