*This eggnog is delicious. If you like, of course, you may leave out the liquor, or use a rum extract. If you are concerned about raw eggs simply use pasturized eggs, they can be found in any grocery store, next to the regular eggs. Be sure to put this in a big bowl and place in the freezer so it will be crystal cold when your company drops by! I'm making a big bowl of it tomorrow!
*6 egg, separated 3/4 cup sugar 1 pint heavy cream 4 pints milk 1/2 pint Bourbon 1 tablespoon vanilla Nutmeg
In a bowl beat the egg yolks with the 1/2 cup of sugar until thick. In another bowl beat the egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar until thick. In a third bowl beat the cream until thick. Add the cream to the yolks, fold in the egg whites, and add the milk, Bourbon, vanilla, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired. Chill in freezer before serving. Serve eggnog in a large punch bowl.
*RAW EGG WARNING The American Egg Board states: "There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell."
