Fig Pudding Recipe

This is a recipe for a very rich and fruity sponge pudding. It mixes the rich flavours of brandy or rum with plenty of fruits to make it into a hearty warming dish.

Fig Pudding

Ingredients:
8oz dried figs
2oz raisins
3oz butter
3oz soft brown sugar
3oz plain flour
2oz fresh white breadcrumbs
1oz ground almonds
pinch of mixed spice
1 egg
grated rind of 1/2 a lemon
1 to 3 tablespoons (according to taste) of brandy OR rum OR sherry


Method:
Soak the figs overnight in cold weak tea (some people add a little lemon juice). Before starting to make the pudding, drain the fruit well and chop the figs finely. In a bowl mix (cream) the butter and sugar together then fold in the flour gradually.

In a separate bowl beat the egg with the brandy and alcoholic spirit of your choice. Again mix well. Then pour into a 2 pint, well buttered, pudding bowl and cover with a greaseproof sheet then seal with kitchen foil. Cover and steam for 3&1/2 to 4 hours.

Serve, whilst still warm, with custard or cream.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
