Figgy Pudding
- "Figgy pudding," also known as "Christmas pudding" or "plum pudding," is a traditional British dessert that is particularly associated with the Christmas season. It's a dense, steamed or boiled pudding made with a mixture of dried fruits, suet (a type of animal fat), breadcrumbs, flour, sugar, and a blend of spices.
- Despite its name, it does not necessarily contain figs, and the "plum" in plum pudding traditionally referred to raisins or dried fruits.
- Made with Figs, Currants, Dark Rum, and Spices.
- Best served with Brandy Butter or Cream topping.
- Made by Cole’s of UK Net Wt. 9.7 oz (275 g).

Here are some key points about figgy pudding:
1. Ingredients: Figgy pudding typically includes dried fruits like raisins, currants, and sometimes, indeed, figs. Other common ingredients are candied peel, suet, flour, breadcrumbs, brown sugar, and a mix of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
2. Preparation: Making figgy pudding involves mixing these ingredients into a thick batter or dough, which is then steamed or boiled for several hours. The slow cooking process helps the flavors meld together and creates a dense, moist texture.
3. Traditions: Similar to Christmas pudding, it's a tradition to make figgy pudding in advance of Christmas, often on "Stir-Up Sunday," the last Sunday before Advent. Some recipes may call for the inclusion of small objects like coins or charms, which were believed to bring luck to those who found them in their serving.
4. Serving: Figgy pudding is typically served warm and may be flambéed with brandy before serving. It's often accompanied by a sauce, such as brandy butter, custard, or cream.
5. Carol Reference: "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," a popular Christmas carol, contains the famous line "Now bring us some figgy pudding," reflecting the tradition of carolers requesting this dessert during the holiday season.
Figgy pudding, like Christmas pudding, is a beloved part of British holiday traditions. It has a rich, fruity, and spiced flavor that makes it a favorite treat during the Christmas festivities. While it may not be as common outside of the UK, it remains a symbol of traditional Christmas cuisine and is enjoyed by those who appreciate its taste and historical significance.
