It's the time of year where there is a definite chill in the air, where we dust off our fireplace/wood stove, get cozy on the couch, light a few candles, and maybe watch a movie after the kiddos are in bed for the night.
Here in northern California, we've had our first rain storm of the season and for me that brings a craving; something hot, sweet and spiked, all with my all time favorite autumn scent of cinnamon.
Hot Buttered Rum
Have you had any yet?
"Best of the Web" recipe for the week is courtesy Williams Sonoma.
Ingredients:
3 Tbs. firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves {or just replace the last three ingredients with that pumpkin pie spice you made last week}
3/4 cup rum {if you're not a rum fan, try brandy. Korbel is my favorite}
2 cups boiling water
4 cinnamon sticks
Directions:
Serves 4.
Cheers!

MMMM, the recipe looks very good. I believe that living in Wisconsin entitles me to warm, sweet things...don't you think?
ReplyDeleteNice! Something I would enjoy very much.
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my that sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, I've never been a fan of rum on it's own.
ReplyDeleteGosh sounds like heaven.
ReplyDeleteFinally some rain and cool weather in okla. This would be perfect way to celebrate, we have only had about 7 inches of rain since last Oct. Very serious drought for farmers, dairyman.
