Figgy Pudding
Traditional Christmas pudding referred to in the the carol "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
Recipe by Mitchel Whitington
That 16th century carole from the West Country of England we sing every Christmas repeatedly refers to figgy pudding. And I've always wondered, "what heck is figgy pudding?" My research not only turned up a great pudding recipe but it also revealed just what pudding really is and what it isn't. Puddings didn't used to be the artificially flavored custard-like desserts found in plastic cups that are inserted into kids school lunch boxes. They were more like the bread pudding we make today.
You really need a pudding mold for this recipe. You can buy an inexpensive metal one from any kitchen supply store. Just make sure the mold will hold at least 2 liters or 2 1/2 quarts.
Ingredients
1 pound dried Calimyrna figs, stemed and chopped
1 3/4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
Brandied hard sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a 2 quart saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer figs in milk, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Next in a large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat eggs 1 minute. Reduce speed to low; add butter, bread crumbs, orange peel and warm fig mixture. Gradually add flour mixture and beat until just blended.
Spoon pudding batter into well-buttered mold, cover and place mold in a deep roasting pan and place on oven rack. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to coming 2 inches up the side of mold. Bake pudding for 2 hours, invert and unmold onto plate. Serve warm with hard sauce drizzled over each serving.
Serves 8

I've had it, its actually not bad, but I'd take the fresh figs (and the hard sauce) over the 'pudding' (sort of a cake, bready) instead.

Funny you should mention this. My church did a Christmas program this year that was sort of "David Letterman meets Jesus" (kinda sacreligious but that's another topic all together...) type of thing. So, they did a top 10 list. Well, the top 10 list was "reason's we aren't going across the river and through the woods to grandma's house this year." They went through the top 9 and then the #1 reason was: "Two words...Figgy Pudding." It was real cute!
