Christmas Treat Time

[enitharmon]

I've just made one of my favourite Christmas treats ever since I was very little. A batch of rum butter, made the authentic Cumberland way as my Nanna did it. Spread it on buttered toast - yummy! Traditionally eaten with Christmas pudding (although actually I will make rum sauce) and goes very well with Christmas cake. Also delicious scooped out of the bowl with a finger.

500 g soft brown sugar
250 g butter
nutmeg to taste
a good slosh of rum

Melt the butter gently in a pan. Sir in the sugar and mix well. Add the nutmeg and rum. Decant into a bowl. Leave to set.

My auntie makes a really nice whiskey sauce for her christmas pud. I must get the recipe from her.
