Instructions: Pudding: Dissolve soda in water and add to molasses, milk, and suet. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Combine both mixtures and turn into buttered mold. Cover and steam 3 hours. Raisins and currants and citron may be added.

Sauce: Mix cornstarch with granulated sugar. Pour 1 cup hot water over mixture and let boil. Slice the tart apple bits into the boiling syrup and let the whole boil until the apple is clear and semi-transparent. Pour this onto the creamed butter. Flavor with vanilla. When ready to serve, the sauce should be of the consistency of syrup.
