Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Eggnog (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon Cornstarch (omitting yields a softer texture)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Cinnamon (adjust to preference)
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
1 tablespoon Butter (fully melted)
2 tablespoons Dark Rum (optional)
1 tablespoon Powdered Pectin (optional, for jam-like consistency)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine eggnog and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth over medium heat. Stir for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Gradually stir in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the warm mixture. Cook on medium heat, whisking for 5-7 minutes until thick.
Lower heat and mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and dark rum. Cook for 1-2 minutes until flavors meld.
For a firmer consistency, whisk in powdered pectin while simmering on low for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool for 5-10 minutes. Pour into jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Notes

Whisk cornstarch with eggnog before heating to avoid lumps.
Adjust sugar based on taste.
Customize spices as desired.
