Hot Crocked Buttered Rum

Great in the Winter and guaranteed to get you crocked

Ingredients:

Directions:

Put Butter, Brown Sugar, Salt and hot Water into a 3 quart or larger slow cooker.  If you prefer to remove the Cinnamon Sticks, Cloves and Nutmeg before serving, then it will be easier if you place them loosely in a tied cheesecloth sack with plenty of room for the spices to expand.  Regardless, add those spices to the slow cooker.  Do NOT add the Rum to the slow cooker at this time.  Stir well, cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 3 to 10 more hours.

30 minutes before serving add the Dark Rum and cover.

Remove spices if you prefer and serve by ladling from the slow cooker into warm mugs.

Notes:

Leftovers can be saved in the refrigerator and reheated in a covered container later.

Feel free to experiment with the amount of Rum to suit your tastes.
