Just Cuz

it’s Turkey Time!

Lotsa cookin’ to be done. Better do this first:

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch salt
Bottle dark rum
Boiling water

In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Refrigerate until almost firm.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs.

Pour about 3 ounces of rum into each mug (filling about halfway). Top with boiling water (to fill the remaining half), stir well, and serve immediately.

    Yum.

    I did this a couple of years ago for Christmas gifties.
    Thanks for the reminder.

    *grins widely*
    *grabs large mug cause there aren’t any small ones ’round here. besides 12 is too much work–cats don’t drink this*

    Also: Core an apple and fill it with the batter before heating in the oven or nuke-o-wave…

    Then enjoy rum on the side.

    Doug, I think this is called “Hot Buttered Rum”.

    But don’t quote me.

    But if you do quote me, give me a credit.

    And a royalty.

    PeggyU – You could take off from your favorite martini recipe. eg: lots of cranberry juice, lemon vodka, half as much cointreau as vodka, lime juice and slices of lime and orange floating.

    OR homemade lemonade, Lavender infusion [no idea - BRB - ooo! look!] , Violet Liqueur, lemon vodka with floating lemon slices and deep-purple pansies.
