and warm fig mixture.

Place the mold in a roasting pan and place on oven rack. fIll with hot tap water 2 inches up the side of the mold. Bake for 2 hours or until the pudding is firm and it is pulling away from the side of the mold.

Remove the pudding from the water bath. Remove the foil and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before unmolding. 

Invert mold onto a serving plate and remove mold. 

It should come away easily.
