Figgy’s Christmas Puddings

A little about our ingredients…

It’s easy to say we use the ‘finest ingredients’, but we really have spent years refining our ingredients and suppliers to ensure our Christmas Pudding is truly memorable:

sweet & delicate

Ale and Brandy

Arguably the most important ingredients when it comes to the flavour of a fine Christmas Pudding! The dark intensity of Hanlon’s Port Stout, paired with the richness of the Somerset Cider Brandy, give an incredible depth of flavour.

Rich & soft

Vine fruits

There are a lot of cheap imports available these days, but of course you still get what you pay for, so we go for the best, such as California raisins which are sun-dried on the vine. As best quality fruits, they are richer in flavour, softer in texture and never gritty like some of the cheaper rivals.

naturally processed

Glace Cherries

Coloured only with fruit juices, these plump beauties have a deep burgundy colour and lovely soft texture which blend seamlessly with the rest of the pudding during maturation. No scarlet cocktail cherries here!

local

Breadcrumbs

We make all our breadcrumbs by hand, using fresh bread from a bakery just down the road from us. They use none of the ‘extras’ you’ll find in a lot of modern bread – just flour, water, yeast and salt!

finest quality

Fresh fruit

Our apples are UK Bramleys, and we buy our carrots from a local greengrocer. Our orange and lemon is all freshly squeezed and zested by a local company and is not from concentrate.
