Tropical Hot Buttered Rum Sauce for Drizzling!

This tropical hot buttered rum sauce is FANTASTIC, if I do say so myself! So good over vanilla ice cream and caramelized sliced bananas! -Or-, drizzle over pancakes, waffles, sliced fruit, puddings, or ice cream. It's good over just about anything--YUM!! Use a good dark rum such as Myers or Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and don't skip the fresh squeezed lime juice, which makes this sauce pop! I hope you enjoy!
