STEAMED FRUIT PUDDING.

Make a dough of six heaping tablespoonfuls of flour; pinch of salt, one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of cream, and water enough to make a soft dough; mix as lightly as possible. Then add one pint of any preserved or stewed fruit that is desired, the fruit should be well sweetened; steam for forty minutes. Be particular to keep the steam at regular heat, not letting it die down. Serve with syrup, made of the fruit juice, or hard sauce.
