Most of us have sung the song We Wish You a Merry Christmas; my guess would be that most of you have not eaten the treat Figgy Pudding mentioned in the song. The tradition of carollers being given Christmas treats for singing to neighbors in the community is a reflection in this Christmas Carol. Figgy Pudding also known as Plum pudding and Christmas pudding, dates back all the way to the sixteenth century. Over the years figgy puddings mentioned in We Wish You A Merry Christmas have faded away. But if you’re one who likes to bake try this recipe that I found for Figgy Pudding. You can bake it now and keep it till Christmas.
