Steamed Fig Pudding
Steamed puddings are a traditional holiday dessert in England, and those made with dried figs are an especially classic variety. They can vary in texture and taste. This version has the flavor of a rich bread pudding. Each serving is enhanced with a drizzle of dense syrup made from the fig poaching liquid and a dollop of whipped cream.

Very successful, with a few tweaks
January 6, 2011
I hadn't made a steamed pudding in years, but friends wanted one, so tried this one out. It's a rarity as it doesn't contain any alcohol, good for abstainers. I did add a half teaspoon or so each of: ground cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and mace. I think it would have been too bland without those additions. I also substituted buttermilk instead of plain milk. Guests at dinner hesitated at first and asked for very small portions, expecting not to like it. But nearly all of them had seconds, including one heretofore figgy-pudding hater!

Perfect as a side or a dessert
December 29, 2010
I had never made fig pudding, and wanted to try it. All ingredients are easy to find, and the recipe is easy. (The challenge was finding a 7 cup figgy pudding pan. I found one and it was worth the effort).
The result is a visually appealing and tasty dish.
Since it doesn't have an elevated sweetness it works superbly as a side to dinner (in place of stuffing). It is a delightful dessert as well.

Traditional, elegant, delicious
December 28, 2010
This is easy and delectable. I served it drizzled with the reduced fig juice and a spoonful of hard sauce [powdered sugar, butter, cognac, orange zest].
It tastes better with a day or two of age. Wrap closely with cheesecloth, drizzle with cognac, and cover with aluminum foil.
Wonderful! :)

Worth the Time
December 25, 2010
This recipe is so delicious. It is worth the time and effort. My family and guests enjoyed it very much. I didn't have a putting mold so I used a bundt pan and covered with heavy duty foil and it worked well.
