Recipe type: Beverage
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 12
Ingredients
½ cup butter
1½ cups rum (preferably dark)
2 cups packed brown sugar (light brown)
⅛ tsp salt
3 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
½ tsp ground nutmeg
TOPPING INGREDIENTS:
heavy cream (1 pint)
Confection sugar (to taste)
ground nutmeg &
cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
Put all ingredients, except rum, into Crockpot.
Add 3½ cups hot water and stir well
Cover pot and cook on Low for 5 hours. Or on High for 1 hour and Low for 2.5 to 3 hours.
Right before serving stir in rum until fully blended
Serve from pot in warm mugs with a scoop of whipped cream (see recipe below) and a dusting of nutmeg & cinnamon.
Add confection sugar to your taste (I don’t make it too sweet for this as the buttered rum is very sweet)
Whip the heavy cream & sugar with electric mixer on high until peaks form
Notes: You can make this on the stove just mind you temperature keep it low I am not too sure how long it would need but it couldn’t take (even on the lowest setting) more than 3 hours. Just be careful not to let is burn. Use dark rum it gives the drink it's rich coloring. This came from Mrs. McGrath a woman I provided meal-on-wheels for. She was a sweet lady and we would talk about recipes for hours, she loved to cook and bake. She would tell me of her families grand holidays and well I sometimes wished I had been a part of them.
