A Cold Weathered Classic: Hot Buttered Rum

Never was I a true fan of rum, but one evening at work I won a bottle of the stuff and was thrilled to take it home and put it on the kitchen shelf as a trophy. Now, what was I going to do with the stuff? Then I came across a cold weathered classic: Hot Buttered Rum. So easy and great to serve if you have company over! This recipe serves 12...Recipe as follows:

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch salt
Bottle dark rum
Boiling water


Directions:

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
