Eggnog Caramel

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the eggnog, whipping cream and brown sugar.

3. Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
4. Let the caramel cool down in the saucepan for about 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Stir and store in glass jars.
6. Cover and refrigerate for more than 2 hours or until chilled.

Tip

For a holiday twist, dark rum can be added. The caramel can be prepared ahead of time. It can be stored covered and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. Stir before serving.
