With only ten days until Christmas, its time we start thinking about making the eggnog mentioned in last Thursday's blog. (This coming weekend would be the ideal time to whip up this holiday treat to ensure maximum freshness throughout the holidays.)
I'm gonna share my Daddy's eggnog recipe with you. It is the very best!
Daddy's Eggnog
Ingredients
6 Eggs
1/2 Pint Whiskey
1/4 Pint Rum
1 Pint Heavy Cream
1 Pint Half & Half
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup Sugar
Separate eggs
Beat yokes (that's the yellow part) and add 1/2 cup sugar while beating
Slowly add the Half & Half to the mixture
Lightly whip the heavy cream separately and then gradually add to the mixture
Stir constantly while adding the Vanilla, whiskey and rum
Whip egg whites separately and add 1/4 cup sugar to the whipped whites
Slowly add whipped egg whites into mixture, stirring constantly
Taste ~ Add sugar to taste, if necessary. Taste Again ~ Add rum to taste, if necessary.
Cool and store in refrigerator. Makes approximately 2 quarts. Serve with grated nutmeg on top.
Go for it girl! You'll be glad you did! This is what eggnog is supposed to taste like!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
