FIGGY PUDDING

Ingredients:

• 200ml (7fl oz) dark rum75g (3oz) dried figs, roughly chopped, plus 3 whole figs
• 75g (3oz) raisins
• 50g (2oz) glacé cherries, roughly chopped
• 100g (4oz) soft brown sugar
• 100g (4oz) butter
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 175g (6oz) self-raising flour
• 50g (2oz) pistachio nuts, shelled and chopped
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp allspice

For the topping:

• 50g (2oz) dried figs, roughly chopped
• 50g (2oz) pistachio nuts, chopped
• 6tbsp runny honey

Method:

1. Gently warm the rum in a pan, taking care not to boil. Remove from the heat and add the chopped figs, raisins and cherries. Soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can.
2. Beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, whisking continuously. Once all the egg is added, fold in the flour until well combined.
3. Strain the soaked fruit and add to the mixture along with the pistachios, nutmeg and allspice. Combine well.
4. Slice the three whole figs horizontally and arrange on the bottom of a greased 1.2 litre (2 pint) basin, seed-side down. Pour the mixture on top, being careful to keep the figs in position.
5. Take a piece of greaseproof paper and make a pleat down the centre to allow for expansion. Place over the basin and secure with string. Cover with foil and tie again, making a handle with the extra string.
6. Place the basin in a deep pan and fill with boiling water so it comes three-quarters of the way up the bowl. Cover and simmer for 2 hours. Don't be tempted to lift the lid during the first 30 mins of cooking – any drop in temperature will make the pudding sink.
7. To make the topping, warm the figs, pistachios and honey in a small pan with 1tbsp water.
8. Turn the pudding on to a plate, drizzle with sauce and serve hot with rum butter.

Welcome to Peregrine Pottery!

Peregrine Pottery

Welcome

Peregrine Pottery is a family run company. Paul Deakes and his wife Joanne produce Quintessentially English Earthenware from their premises in Longton, Stoke-on- Trent. They specialise in English Earthenware pottery, using local materials and techniques, skills Paul acquired from over 33 years working in the pottery industry.

These techniques he now uses to produce his castware whilst Joanne is the artist who works on their spongeware designs. Their designs are all hand decorated and in keeping with the Englishness of their pottery from sweet little Daisies to English Roses in full bloom, and where would England be without a touch of English eccentricity which is the inspiration behind their English gentry designs.
