Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Butter — Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture for the Rum Butter.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a more pronounced rum flavor, you can increase the amount of rum used in the recipe.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the Rum Butter through a fine-mesh sieve before refrigerating.
  • Experiment with different spices such as cloves or ginger to add your own twist to the recipe.
  • Store the Rum Butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Serving advice

Serve the Rum Butter chilled and spread it on warm toast, English muffins, or freshly baked scones. It also pairs well with pancakes or waffles for a delightful breakfast treat.

Presentation advice

Transfer the Rum Butter to a decorative jar or container to showcase its golden color. You can also garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an elegant touch.
