Which type of rum should I use for a "butter rum" sauce to use in my baking?

Myers dark works really well. Do not use a spiced rum, it may not work well in all recipes, if you want spice add your own.

I don't drink, and don't have enough recipes that call for rum to justify a trip to the state liquor store. For desserts, I just use some rum flavoring. For an excellent butter rum sauce for ice cream, just substitute rum flavoring for half the vanilla in your favorite caramel sauce recipe.

Personally, I would use a dark or spiced rum. Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry are great spiced rums.

I use Bacardi Dark Rum in my baking and cooking. I really don't think the brand matters as long as you use the dark rum.

Myers dark rum has a terrific flavor when used in recipes.

I had 2 miscarriages in 2007 my husband and I never told anyone I was pregnant so when it did happen we only had to deal with it ourselves. Unfortunately I was admitted to hospital with the second miscarriage as they thought it might be ectopic and my husband had to tell his ***** mother as we needed someone to look after our son. She was crying and saying well she should have known I was pregnant (I was only 5 weeks and just found out myself) my own mother didnt even know. A few days later we went round her house and she announced that my husbands cousin was pregnant and SHE had told her mother straight away, couldnt care less about my feelings and the fact Id just lost a baby. Then about a month later we went out for my FIL birthday and because shed had a drink she brought it all up about how she should have known and how it made her feel not once did she ask how I was or how I felt. My husband and I tried to tell her that none of it was about her but it doesnt matter what it is she always turns it around so its about her she has to be centre of attention. She is a chain smoker and smokes while my son is eating or while hes sat on her knee. She gives him crisps and sweets when she knows hes going to have his tea at home. She is basically a horrible person that I have to put up with for my husband.

I think dark rum does have a richer taste. My personal favourite is Woods, but go steady as its very potent stuff - 100 degrees proof.

i use captian morgan when recipes call for rum.
