Ingredients

For the Jam Base

2 cups Eggnog Use your favorite store-bought or homemade.
1 cup Sugar Feel free to replace with a low-sugar alternative.
1/4 cup Cornstarch Helps thicken the jam.

For Flavoring

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg Adds warm holiday spice.
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Brings extra warmth.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor.

For Preservation

2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Balances sweetness and preserves freshness.
1 tablespoon Butter Adds richness and smooth texture.

Instructions

How to Make Creamy Eggnog Jam

In a medium saucepan, whisk together eggnog, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat until well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, add nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in lemon juice and butter, stirring until the butter melts completely.
Allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it into sterilized jars. Seal and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
Use your Creamy Eggnog Jam on pancakes or toast, or as a topping for holiday cookies!

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of rum extract. Use high-quality eggnog for better flavor. Avoid overheating and cool completely before transferring to jars.
