-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Sheep's stomach bag plus the
-pluck (lights, liver and
-heart)
1 lb Lean mutton
6 oz Fine oatmeal
8 oz Shredded suet
2 lg Onions, chopped

salt and pepper about 1/4 pint beef stock
Soak the stomach bag in salted water overnight. Place
the pluck (lights, liver and heart) in a saucepan with
the windpipe hanging over the edge. Cover with water
and boil for 1 1/2 hours. Impurities will pass out
through the windpipe and it is advisable to place a
basin under it to catch any drips. Drain well and
cool. Remove the windpipe and any gristle or skin.
Mince the liver and heart with the mutton. (Add some
of the lights before mincing if you wish.) Toast the
oatmeal gently until pale golden brown and crisp.
Combine with minced mixture, suet and onion. Season
well and add sufficient stock to moisten well. Pack
into the stomach bag, filling it just over half-full
as the stuffing will swell during cooking. Sew up the
bag tightly or secure each end with string. Put an
upturned plate in the base of a saucepan of boiling
water, stand the haggis on this and bring back to the
boil. Prick the haggis all over with a large needle to
avoid bursting and boil steadily for 3 to 4 hours.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
