For a tip of using up the ends of the nutmeg - i bet you could use it to infuse milk or cream and it would be delicious. You'd just heat the milk and the nutmeg up together in a little saucepan. Then strain out the nutmeg. I've never done it so I don't know if the nutmeg would start to disintegrate in the heat - you might want to put in in a cheesecloth or tea strainer just in case. It would be so tasty to use the nutmeg cream in the custard for a bread pudding, or pour it over warm apple pie, or add it to tea or coffee.
