"Grandma made this pudding for the holidays. I never cared for it, but my dad loved it! This takes two days, and will tie up your oven for 7-8 hours! NOTE: This uses beef suet as an ingredient. Don't know of any substitute for it. You can get it at your local butchers. Serve with your favorite hard sauce or brandy sauce."
