Steamed Carrot Pudding

I am not a cook beyond fixing breakfast or grilling some meat, but I do treasure the recipes in my mother's or grandmother's recipe box. Here's one in Grandmother Rogers hand-writing that she attributes to Lillie Rogers. I'll have to study the Rogers geneaology to know who Lillie was.

Raw carrots, ground: 1 cup
Raw potatoes, ground: 1 cup
Suet, ground: 1 cup
Raisins: 1 cup
Flour: 1-1/2 cup
Sugar: 1 cup
Soda: 1 teaspoon
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon: 1 tsp
Nutmeg: 1 tsp
Cloves, ground 1/2 tsp

Mix well
Steam 3 hours
Serve with sauce or whipped cream

Note: The sauce is not identified, but I suspect that it refers to hard sauce, the type that is poured over plum pudding.
