1. Mix the dry ingredients and set them aside. Grease completely three large (25-ounce) tin. 2. cans, such as the kind used for tomato purée. 3. Do NOT use the plastic-lined variety(Alternatively, grease one large steaming mold, with a hole in the center. Or improvise). 4. Add the potatoes and mix well. 5. Then, in turn, add the baking soda, the carrots, the bread crumbs, and the Crisco, making sure that you mix well after adding each ingredient. This matters, so do it! You may have to get some help from King Kong to blend adequately after adding the shortening. 6. Add, in sequence, the brown sugar, the beaten egg, the lemon extract, and the vanilla, mixing well after each addition. Now, add the dry ingredients. 7. mixture, a bit at a time. The mixture will be extremely thick, and very difficult to mix. 8. Add the walnuts and the raisins. 9. Mix them inches Go ahead. You're strong enough. Push the mixture into the tins, with each about 3/4 full, or a little more. Seal the tins with aluminum foil, and use a rubber band to hold the foil on. (the pudding should not be exposed directly to the steam). 10. Steam 1 1/2 to 2 hours, (until the pudding seems uniform. You can't overcook it, so err on the long side, please!) and cool if you're not going to serve it right now. 11. Make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heating. 12. until it bubbles and all ingredients are dissolved. 13. To serve, reheat by steaming for at least 45 minutes, or serve out of the original pot. 14. Serving Information: makes about 5 pounds. 15. DRY INGREDIENTS. 16. This stuff keeps in the fridge nearly forever (at least a month) as long as you don't let. 17. it dry out. 18. Some add rum to this sauce. Suit yourself. I like it both ways. 19. Decant or spoon out (depends on if you want to be fancy or not) and serve with sauce, also steaming hot. 20. Then, don't eat for two days to make up for the calories. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
