        SEASONABLE PUDDINGS
          Puddings to suit all tastes are represented below. They are compounded with fruits and nuts and range from the comparatively simple everyday pudding to the elaborate kind for special occasions. They are suitable for dinner or luncheon.
          PINEAPPLE AND TAPIOCA PUDDING - Take one-half cupful tapioca; wash and put in double boiler, with a scant quart cold water and a pinch of salt. Cook until as clear as starch. Stir often to prevent lumping. Remove from the fire, put into the dish in which you intend to serve it, add one-half cupful sugar and a can of shredded pineapple. When cold whip cream and spread on top.
        NUT AND FRUIT DESSERT
          WALNUT AND BANANA PUDDING - Shell and peel three ounces walnuts, cut them into fine shreds. Peel also three to four ripe bananas and rub them through a fine sieve. Chop finely four ounces of beef suet free from skin. Put this into a mixing basin and add four ounces breadcrumbs, two ounces moist sugar, a pinch of salt, the juice and finely grated rind of half a lemon. Stir all well together and lastly mix with the walnuts and banana pulp, then stir in two well beaten eggs. Have ready a well buttered pudding mold, sprinkle the inside with finely crushed dried macaroons and breadcrumbs and fill up with the above preparation. Stand the mold in a pan containing a little hot water and bake the pudding in a moderately heated oven.
        A STEAMED PUDDING
          BANANA AND RHUBARB PUDDING - Cream in a basin two ounces of butter with two ounces of powdered sugar, then spread the inside of a pudding dish or mold thickly with it. Now make a suet paste with half a pound of flour, quarter of a pound of finely chopped beef suet, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoon of baking powder and sufficient cold water to make a stiff crust. Roll the paste out and line the prepared pudding dish, keeping a piece of paste to cover it. Fill the mold with bananas peeled and cut into slices, also with rhubarb cleaned and cut into inch lengths. Add about two tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and half a teaspoonful of ground ginger. Moisten with about half a cupful of water. Wet the edges of the paste and lay and lay on the lid, pressing the ends firmly together. Tie a piece of greased white paper on a wetted pudding cloth on the top, then steam the pudding for two hours or bake in the oven for one and three quarter hours. Turn out and serve hot.
