Method
 

How to Make Creamy Eggnog Spread
  1. Whisk together eggnog and cornstarch in a saucepan until smooth to prevent lumps.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat and incorporate butter, stirring until melted smoothly.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and dark rum (if using), cooking briefly to meld flavors.
  5. Whisk in powdered pectin for a thicker spread if desired, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Let the spread cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to jars.
