I make Christmas puddings every year, up to this year for the whole
family. This year I have only made them for myself, same recipe but
decreased quantities. I always make a small taster, sadly this year it
was rather dry. What can I do to moisten the rest? Will steaming longer
help of ad more rum/brandy or beer?

=====================

Feed it several times a week with rum or brandy. It should be good for
Christmas.

I had not planned on making any this year (or I would have done so in
August latest) but in planning Xmas Day meal with my
granddaughter-in-law my grandson suddenly spoke up and said "No Xmas
pud ???' - so I relented only to find after I said I never noticed his
generation eating it that what he was scared of missing was the pud
flambè, not eating it.

Anyway I made a small one the other day just winging, looks reasonable
but I am adding brandy as fast as it will consume it, that's the only
hope that it might taste good.
