Add knobs of butter into the gills of each mushroom and season with salt and pepper.

In a saucepan over the coals, melt butter and add garlic to make it aromatic.

Add a tablespoon of seeded mustard to the saucepan.

Pour in the rum and let it burn off the alcohol while mixing.

Add molasses for sweetness and Serena Shire sauce for saltiness to the saucepan.

Incorporate apple cider vinegar for acidity and season with black pepper.

Reduce the sauce until it thickens, adding more butter for glossiness.
