I am hoping that no one takes offense. I finally had to look up figgy pudding. I was fine to simply sing the song and not have a clue. The boys however were pressing me on what it is and why I had not made them any if it is important enough to be in a song.
So I looked it up. I have some questions. Some recipes called for figs, which I think I can buy in a bag (maybe) one called for plums. There are no fresh plums in the produce area is such a thing as canned plums that work. Anyone have any advice.
None of my local stores (meaning within 75 miles) have figgy pudding to purchase.
I think it’s because in baking, we can use most dried fruits interchangeably. Dried figs, raisins, or prunes all work in the same kinds of pudding and cake recipes.
