Surprisingly simple to make and you will blow your
friends away when they find that you made it from scratch.
2 quarts of HOT water
2 cups (1 lb) of dark brown sugar - you know
this will be good.
1/2 cup ( 1 stick) of BUTTER ( remember this
is Hot Buttered not Hot Margarined)
1 pinch of salt - would someone please tell me
how big is a pinch.
3 Cinnamon sticks - generally cheaper and
fresher in produce dept.
6 whole cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2-4 cups of 151% rum (believe me, 3 cups taste
the best)
A bunch of Cups, mugs, or seasonal Styrofoam
cups
Good company, friends, relatives, or business
(overnight or all day simmering required)
You will need a 4 qt slow cooker ($10 to $20,
get one, you will love what you can do with it.) Add the ingredients in
the order they appear. Set the slow cooker on low (never on high) and let
simmer for 12 hours on low temperature. Do not lift the lid, remember alcohol
evaporates before water and lifting the lid reduce the potency of the
brew. Cool the concoction (any good cook will tell you that cooling
enhances flavor) while you do whatever else it is that you need to do last
minute before the get together.
Turn on the slow cooker again, 2 hrs
before you plan to serve it (serve
it hot, this is to be sipped and the aroma savored).
****
Remember ****
Any alcoholic beverages with a high sugar
content is deceiving in as much as it tastes harmless but the sugar boosts
your metabolism, consequentially this drinks creeps up on you and then
suddenly it clobbers you. DRIVERS BEWARE!
We don't want to lose anyone ever, but especially not during the
holiday season.
ENJOY and
MERRY CHRISTMAS
