Fruit Pudding

Original Recipe

This pudding is made without cooking and is nice prepared the day before using. Stew currants or any small fruits, either fresh or dried, sweeten with sugar to taste and pour hot over thin slices of bread with the crust cut off, placed in a suitable dish, first a layer of bread, then the hot stewed fruit, then bread and fruit, then bread, leaving the fruit last. Put a plate over the top and, when cool, set it on ice. Serve with sugar and cream. This pudding is very fine made with Boston crackers split open and placed in layers with stewed peaches.
