Then fill with boiling water to half inch above fruit. Seal while hot by pouring on half an inch of melted “Atora” Block Suet. So not disturb until set and cold. Cover with paper. “Atora” Beef Suet in Blocks for Frying, Cooking, Preserving or ready Shredded for Puddings and Pastry. Sold by all Grocers and Stores.
