| 6 | cups apple cider |
| 1/2 | teaspoon whole cloves |
| 1/4 | teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 3 | cinnamon sticks |
| 6 | tablespoons butter |
| 6 | tablespoons packed brown sugar |
| 3/4 | cup rum |
| 1. | Heat cider, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks to boiling in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Strain cider mixture to remove cloves and cinnamon sticks if desired. |
| 2. | For each serving, place 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 2 tablespoons rum in mug. Fill with hot cider. |
|
| Crush a couple of butterscotch candies and sprinkle on top of the cider for a pretty--and yummy--garnish. |
|
| Serve a delicious nonalcoholic spiced cider by preparing as directed but omitting the butter, brown sugar and rum. |
|
| For the best flavor in this spiced drink, be sure to use butter instead of margarine or spread products. |
