I'm eager to bake a traditional figgy pudding. Any tips for achieving that classic flavor and texture? Should I soak the figs in advance or use a particular spice blend? Ready to dive into holiday baking—your expertise would be much appreciated!

Absolutely! For a delicious traditional figgy pudding, make sure to soak your dried figs and fruits in rum or brandy overnight to enhance the flavor! Also, don’t forget to use fresh spices like nutmeg and cinnamon for that warm, festive taste. Steam it instead of baking for the best texture! Happy baking!

For a classic figgy pudding, steam it until tender and serve it with a dollop of custard or a drizzle of brandy sauce.
