EGGNOG SUPREME
Make this a tradition on Christmas Eve or splurge and entertain some guests the Friday before. A welcome relief to get together for an afternoon chat after shopping. Save yourself for eggnog, sherry and Christmas cake and goodies. In a large punch bowl combine: - 12 egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Beat till lemon coloured and thick; then slowly add: - 13 oz. brandy
- 26 oz. rye or rum
- 2 cups light cream
Beat to blend well and chill one hour or overnight to allow egg to mellow. - 12 egg whites
- 3 cups whipping cream
Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat 3 cups cream in large bowl, fold in egg whites, then add to egg yolk mixture in punch bowl. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and place sprig of holly on top. Place cups and ladle beside bowl on coffee table and invite guests to help themselves – they’ll ask for spoons!
