Rum butter

Rum butter is a traditional delicacy originating from Cumbria. Invented in the late 18th century, rum butter is usually made with a combination of soft unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, nutmeg, dark rum, and warm water. The ingredients are beaten together, and once the concoction becomes creamy, it’s left in the refrigerator to chill before consumption. Rum butter is typically used on crackers, scones, toast, oatcakes, bread, and crumpets. It can be served with Christmas pudding, mince pies, and sweet tarts as well. For a great experience, you can also drizzle some warmed rum butter over ice cream.
