- 2 egg beaten
- 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions
Pudding
- Grease one 2 qt. lidded pudding mold.

- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, butter, mincemeat, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin. Add to the flour mixture and mix together until smooth. Pour into pudding mold.
- Place a rack in a large pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil. Place pudding on rack. Cover pot and steam for 2 1/2 hours.
- Check the pot occasionally and add more water if needed.
- Check pudding for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. When firm, remove pudding from pot. Place pudding on a rack to cool. Unmold after 10 minutes.
