Comments (26)The first time I had a hot buttered rum was at a lady's home in Brown County, Indiana. Brown County is hilly and wooded (at least back then) and very beautiful on a snowy winter day. This lady's house was amazing. She had traveled the world, literally, and had decorated her home with the beautiful things she found on her trips. We went to visit and she made us this drink on a cold night in winter with snow outside and a big fire in the fireplace. While we sipped, she told of stories of her travels. It was a wonderful and memorable night. (This would also be good for a sore throat, I would think!) HOT BUTTERED RUM (Rachael Ray) 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves Pinch salt 3/4 cup spiced rum 2 cups boiling water 4 sticks cinnamon, for garnish Using an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl until blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a 4-cup (or larger) measuring cup. Add the rum and then 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the butter mixture dissolves. Divide the buttered rum among 4 mugs. Garnish with the cinnamon sticks and serve....See MoreSpin off - special treats you only get around the holidays?
Comments (62)Every Christmas Eve as a child, we went to my grandmother's house and we had Mexican food for dinner and homemade eggnog and candy for dessert. There was always toffee, bon-bons, fudge, winter strawberries, fruitcake, dipped pretzels, Chex mix, haystacks, peanut brittle, and a few other candies I don't recall. Christmas cookies have never been in a thing in my family, it was always tins with various hemade candies. But that eggnog, I looked forward to it every year. My grandmother passed away when I was pregnant with my first. When my mom and dad started caring for my grandad, my mother found all the Christmas recipes, including the recipe for the homemade eggnog which I had never had the foresight to ask my grandmother for the recipe. I started making it a few years ago and now my 7 year old in particular looks forward to it. I made it last night for our big family get-together and I only got a taste as everyone wanted a cup! I've never had eggnog with alcohol, didn't even know that was a thing until I was an adult, and I can't stand the stuff in a carton. Grandmother's recipe is so rich, thick and decadent that it is usually eaten with a spoon. I look forward to it every year on Christmas Eve....See More- 6 months ago
