Can I buy instant figgy pudding anywhere?

Question

I looked in the jello pudding section but I couldn't find any.

Answer 1

I don't partake of figgy pudding myself and here's the reason:

A traditional English steamed pudding served during the Christmas holiday.......made with suet, a solid white fat from the loin and kidney regions of meat animals.

The instant mix is available exclusively from Apple......look for it on your grocer's shelves; it's marketed as iFiggy.

Answer 2

I don't know where you can buy it, but I hear that if you go and sing in front of people's doors and refuse to leave until you get some that it is like buying instant figgy pudding without spending the money.





"We won't go until we get some. We won't go until we get some. So bring it right now!"

Answer 3

I don't beleive there are any instant figgy pudding products.

Here is a recipe

Serves 4

300ml (½ pint) Milk
225g (8oz) Flour
175g (6oz) Dried Figs
150ml (¼ pint) Brandy
110g (4oz) Suet
110g (4oz) Prunes
85g (3oz) Raisins or Sultanas
50g (2oz) Dried Apricots
50g (2oz) Dates
25g (1oz) Dried Apples
1 tbsp Honey
¼ tsp Ginger
¼ tsp Cinnamon

On the day before making the pudding, place the dried apricots, prunes and apples to soak in water and place the raisins or sultanas to soak in the brandy.
Remove the stones from of the dates and prunes.
Butter a large pudding basin.
Sift flour into a bowl.
Stir in suet and mix to a fairly soft dough with cold water.
Turn out on to a floured surface.
Lightly knead until smooth.
Roll out two-thirds of pastry into a round and use to line a well-greased 2-pint pudding basin.
Melt the honey and stir in the ginger and cinnamon.
Add to the soaked fruits and brandy mixture.
Mix well and place into the pastry lined bowl.
Moisten edges of pastry with water.
Cover with lid, rolled from remainder of the pastry.
Press edges well together to seal.
Cover securely with greased greaseproof paper or aluminium foil.
Steam steadily for 2 hours.
Ensure that the water does not evaporate, topping it up from time to time with boiling water.
Turn out onto a plate and serve.
