Have you ever wondered what in the world is Figgy Pudding? Well, I have, and decided to do a bit of investigation on this delightful looking concoction. Well, it turns out that Figgy pudding is actually made of figs. Figs, spices, flour, fruit and often a boatload full of alcohol. The custard like cake is usually cooked or steamed in a bowl or water bath. Figgy pudding has been around since the 1600’s but most commonly known from the song,”We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” which itself has it origins in England mid fifteenth century. So, if you are so inclined, I have provided a link to a non-alcoholic version of figgy pudding.
