About Figgy Duff
Figgy duff is a traditional boiled pudding from Newfoundland and Labrador. Gabby Peyton’s version combines raisins, molasses and brown sugar in a flour-based pudding, accompanied by rum butter sauce.
Molasses supplies a deep sweetness alongside the raisins. Ginger, allspice and cinnamon give the pudding a warm spice profile, while butter enriches the mixture.
The pudding has a firm, sliceable shape after its bag cooking. Raisins are distributed through the dense crumb, and a warm sauce accompanies the cake-like slices at the table.
