Figgy pudding is a traditional British dessert made with figs and a variety of other dried fruits, spices, and often suet. It is typically steamed or boiled, resulting in a dense, moist cake-like texture. Figgy pudding is commonly associated with the Christmas season and is often served with a warm sauce, such as brandy butter or cream. The dish gained popularity in the 16th century and is famously mentioned in the Christmas carol “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” While it is not as commonly made today, figgy pudding remains a symbol of festive celebrations and is enjoyed by those who appreciate traditional holiday fare.
