Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups Eggnog (homemade or store-bought) Use your favorite variety
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Optional for thicker texture
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Increase if not using dark rum
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Personalize as per preference
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg Freshly grated is ideal
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Melted for smoothness
  • 2 tablespoons Dark Rum Optional; substitute with more vanilla if preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Pectin For jam-like consistency, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the eggnog and sugar over medium heat. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a splash of the warm eggnog mixture until smooth, then return it to the saucepan.
  3. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly—about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in the melted butter for that extra creaminess.
  5. If using, gently fold in the dark rum and powdered pectin for that jam-like consistency, then let it cool a bit before transferring to a jar.
