O Bring Us Some Grain Free Figgy Pudding...

Who needs a recipe for a scrumptious holiday dessert that is sugar free, gluten free and casein free? Behold the Grain Free Figgy Pudding!

What is Figgy Pudding anyway? Isn't it hard to make? If it is free of sugar and grains does it taste like cardboard?

Figgy Pudding is simply a combination of dried fruits and spices boiled together to make a traditional Christmas dessert. (Flaming brandy sauce is optional.)

Boiled pudding is different than the creamy stuff most people think of when they hear pudding. This is thicker and almost cake like, without the grains of course.

This recipe from Nourishing Holiday, Grain Free Gut Healing Recipes for Every Occasion is not only easy to make it derives all of its sweetness from the fruit and honey.
