Delight your guests on Christmas Day with a multi-award-winning Christmas Pudding from Figgy's. Handmade to an old family recipe, with a delectable duo of Westcountry brandy and stout, this is Christmas pudding as it used to be. 

Figgy's Christmas Puddings are made by Joanne and Richard Evans in their tiny bakery near Exeter in Devon. From humble beginnings in their home kitchen 20 years ago, the couple have won an incredible 27 fine food awards for their Christmas pudding, including gold stars in the Great Taste Awards for the past three years. They now supply farm shops and delicatessens all over the UK, as well as directly via their website (www.figgys.co.uk). Orders placed online now will be delivered in time for Christmas. 

They are one of the few producers who still make Christmas puddings in traditional ceramic bowls, choosing to use the quintessential Mason Cash pudding basin for their premium pudding. In time-honoured fashion, these puddings are topped with a natural cotton wrap, hand-tied in the classic 'rabbit-ears' knot to create a perfect handle for steaming. A 950g Christmas Pudding in a ceramic bowl serves 8 - 10 people and is £26.95. A 550g Christmas Pudding in a ceramic bowl serves 4 - 6 people and is £19.95*. 

With convenience in mind, Figgy's also make their award-winning pudding in a fully recyclable plastic basin which can be warmed in the microwave. Presented in a beautiful festive box, with specially commissioned artwork by Devon artist Helen Leslie, this a fabulous alternative when time or space is of a premium but you still want to celebrate with a real Christmas Pudding. A 750g boxed Christmas pudding serves 4-8 people and is £17.95. A 350g boxed Christmas pudding serves 2-3 people and is £12.95*.

Made in small batches, Figgy's Christmas puddings contain carefully selected ingredients**, including breadcrumbs made in-house using bread from an artisan bakery, the finest French glace cherries coloured only with fruit juices, and free-range eggs from a farm shop just half a mile away. British apples and carrots add moistness, while California raisins provide sun-baked sweetness. The puddings are infused with generous quantities of Somerset Cider Brandy and Hanlons Port Stout from Devon, before being slow-steamed for many hours. 

This traditional production method gives a finish that is light and open textured, with none of the heaviness of mass-produced Christmas puddings. Maturation for several months ensures the Christmas puddings are at their very best for Christmas Day. Perfect for flaming, and a delight with any manner of cream or custard.
