Text Box:   SUSSEX  POND  PUDDING   This old suet pud recipe can be described as both unusual  and useful, but, we don稚 know from which part of Sussex it originates. Come sunny summer or chilly winter take a dip into this Sussex Pond .   To make the pastry mix 4 oz Suet with  2 oz Fresh White Breadcrumbs and 8oz  Michelham Priory Watermill Stoneground Flour. Use enough milk and water to mix to a pliable dough. Use two thirds of the pastry to line a greased 2 pint pudding Basin and put the remaining third to one side.  For the filling: One large lemon, pricked all over and heavily smeared With butter and then rolled in caster sugar. Make a lid for the basin with the remaining pastry sealing the edges well.  Cover with greaseproof paper  and either tie a cloth or thick tin foil layer securely over the lid.  Steam in a large saucepan for 3 - 4 hours replenishing with hot water when necessary.   When serving dress with strawberries and cream in summer Or homemade custard in winter. And above all, ENJOY!     Text Box: Photo by Phoograham Text Box: Ha地acker Mill. Sally is gone that was so kindly, Sally is gone from Ha地acker Hill And the briar grows ever since then so blindly; And ever since then the clapper is still... And the sweeps have fallen from Ha地acker Mill.    Ha地acker Hill is in desolation: Ruin a-top and a field unploughed. And spirits that call on a fallen nation, Spirits that loved her calling aloud, Spirits abroad in a windy cloud.    Spirits that call and no one answers; Ha地acker down and England痴 done. Wind and thistle for pipe and dancers, And never a ploughman. Never a one.    Hilaire Belloc What is  reason for the apostrophe in the title? Belloc's poem is about the Halnacker Mill in Slindon, West Sussex. Locally the 'l' is slient, so the Mill is     pronounced Ha'nacker, hence the apostrophe in the title.
