Grandma McCracken's Carrot Pudding

• 1 c brown sugar
  
• 1/2 c very finely grated suet or vegetable shortening
  
• 1 c grated potato
  
• 1 c grated carrot
  
• 1 c grated apple
  
• 1/2 tsp cloves
  
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp baking soda - mixed with the grated potato, carrot and apple
  
• 1 c raisins
  
• 1 T molasses
  
• 2 c flour
  

Mix it all together and steam covered in a mold or bowl for 3-4 hours. Make about a week ahead and wrap and refrigerate. Re heat over steam and serve small portions.

She always served it with a brown sugar sauce - water, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and butter but it is really good with rum sauce - I use the Joy of Cooking one.
