4oz cabbage heart, chopped finely
1/2lb cooking apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 large onion, chopped finely
 2 level tablespoons black treacle

Method:
 
Mix all filling ingredients together. Into another bowl sift flour and salt together. Add suet and toss all together. Mix to stiff dough with the water. Roll out two-thirds of dough to line 2 1/2 pint well greased pudding basins. Fill with bacon and vegetable mixture and cover with lid made by rolling out the rest of the dough. Cover with greased greaseproof paper and steam steadily for 3 hours.
