Recipe: Figgy Pudding

FIGGY PUDDING

"So bring us the figgy pudding... We won't go until we get some" are memorable lines from We Wish You A Merry Christmas. 

1/2 lb. of figs
1 1/4 cup bread crumbs 
1 cup almonds or walnuts
1 cup light brown sugar 
1/2 cup (scant) candied grapefruit peel 
1/4 cup candied lemon peel 
3 Tbsp. of melted butter 
4 eggs, beaten 
1/2 tsp. cinnamon 
1/4 tsp. nutmeg 

Chop the figs and mix with fluffy crumbs. 

Toast the almonds or walnuts (it using almonds, they should be blanched and skinned and chopped. Walnuts should be chopped). Mix with all the other ingredients. 

Put the mixture into a greased mold and steam 2 1/2 hours (The pudding may also be baked in a 325 degrees F. oven for 1 hour).
