After singing the song We wish you a merry Christmas a few time too many, I have become curious about baking some figgy pudding. On Wikipedia they have a recipe from the 1300s, which I found intriguing, but it lacks any measurements and instructions.
Take blanched almonds, grind them, remove and mix with water, wine, quartered figs, whole raisins. Add in powdered ginger, clarified honey, boil it well and salt it, and serve
In order to actually be able to bake something, I have looked a bit around the Internet for recipes with similar ingredients lists, thinking it would get me close to the original, but haven’t found anything so far.
All modern recipes I have found were more like sponge cakes with figs in them, and nothing with wine, almonds and honey.
Does anyone in here have any experience in medieval figgy pudding preparations, or otherwise know where to find a somewhat similar recipe?
Any help would be appreciated.
