Thank you for you Christmas greetings Noelene.
Somehow the rhyme gives it a special meaning.
May you also have lots of good things ahead in 2013 and
Season's Greetings to one and all.

Yikes!  That's definitely an old one.

I found the following in an old cookbook which my Mother used in the 
'30s and '40s.  It sounds pretty close to the original ingredients, and 
at least they have given us measures!


4 pounds lean beef
2 pounds beef suet
Baldwin apples
3 quinces
3 pounds sugar
2 cups molasses
2 quarts cider
3 pounds currants
4 pounds raisins, seeded and cut in
pieces
1/2  pound finely cut citron
1 quart grape juice or cooking brandy
1 tablespoon cinnamon and mace
1 tablespoon powdered clove
2 grated nutmegs
1 teaspoon pepper
Salt to taste

Cover meat and suet with boiling water and cook until tender.
Cool in water in which they are cooked; the suet will rise to top,
forming a cake of fat, which may be easily removed. Chop meat
fine and add it to twice the amount of finely chopped apples. The
apples should be quartered, cored, and pared previous to chopping,
or skins may be left on, which is not an objection if apples are
finely chopped. Add quinces finely chopped, sugar, molasses, cider,
raisins, currants, and citron; also suet, and stock in which meat and
suet were cooked reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Heat gradually, stir occasionally,
and cook slowly 2 hours; then add grape juice or brandy
and spices.

A recipe following this one instructs us to assemble the pie with two 
crusts.

Especially at Christmas,
Here's a greeting that brings
A whole lot of wishes
For life's nicest things-

May your lace give you pleasure
May your pins never bend
May the thread on your bobbins
Last right to the end.

May there always be prickings
And bobbins galore
And lacemaking friends
Coming in your front door.

And then through the New Year
May the same things hold true
So that each day is filled
With life's best things for you!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
