8oz figs
4oz brown sugar
2 eggs
4oz suet
6oz breadcrumbs
1 large tbs syrup

Chop the figs and beat the eggs. Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Put into a well buttered basin and cover with several layers of greaseproof paper. Steam for 3 hours. Serve with custard or white sauce.
These quantities make a large, family sized pudding but it can, of course, be made smaller.
Figs feature largely in the old recipes of this north-eastern area of Lancashire and they seem to have been especially popular in the Burnley district.

The other one is very similar...recipes and pictures. Keep your eye open for it Stephanie. It's the same author and just called 'More Old Lancashire Recipes'.
