Cumberland Rum Or Brandy Butter Food
TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CUMBERLAND RUM BUTTER
A lightly spiced butter, laced with dark rum - this traditional old recipe originates from the county of Cumberland in the Lake District of Northern England. In Cumberland, rum butter served with oatcakes or buttermilk scones were given to friends who called at the house to see a new baby. In turn they would leave a silver coin, and on the day of the christening, when the butter bowl was empty, the coins were placed in it. A sticky bowl, with plenty of coins sticking to it, meant that the child would never be wanting. The saying goes...... "Butter symbolizes the richness of life, sugar the sweetness of life and rum, the spirit of life." Cumberland rum butter is traditionally served with Christmas pudding and mince pies; it also makes a wonderful gift for any new parents or to give throughout the festive season.

RUM OR BRANDY BUTTER
Rum, and brandy butter, are traditionally served with the Christmas pudding but my husband likes it with any dessert that is served warm. If you like add some ground cinnamon. This makes a lot but is easily halved.

CUMBERLAND RUM BUTTER
I was born and bred in Cumberland (or Cumbria as it is now called, which you will perhaps know as the English Lake District). Rum Butter is a traditional Cumbrian dish which is served at Christmas time or any festive occasion especially babies Baptisms. When the rum butter dish was empty, silver coins were placed in it as a gift for the baby. This is my Mothers recipe which was handed down from her Mother....
