Recipe - Chuck Wagon Son-Of-S-Gun-In-A-Sack

2 cup Flour
1 cup Dried fruit such as raisins
1 tablespoon Baking soda
1 cup Bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
One half teaspoon Ground cloves
One half teaspoon Ground nutmeg
1 cup Ground beef suet
1 cup Canned milk
1 cup Molasses

Mix dry ingredients together. Add suet and mix well. Stir in milk and
molasses until well mixed. Pour mixture into a cloth sack and tie with a
string. Place in a large pot of boiling water, cover and boil gently for 2
hours. Serve warm with sweetened canned milk or cream if available.

NOTES: When the coosie wanted to return a favor to a cowhand who had
brought in some dry firewood (or cow chips) off the range, or if there was
a special occasion, he would make this boiled suet pudding. He would add
raisins or dried apples if available. Some sources say it got its name
because it was so difficult to make and others because it was so good.

There was a cowboy named Zack, That wanted a wife in his shack, He said he
didn't care about looks, Just as long as she cooks, Good
Sonofaguninasack!
