Step-by-Step Instructions

Whisk together the eggnog and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until completely smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring in the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5-7 minutes while continuously stirring.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum, allowing it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
If you prefer a firmer spread, whisk in the powdered pectin and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the spread cool for about 5-10 minutes before pouring it into jars.
